Automate Your Tech Radar with Seamless Google Drive and MySQL Integration
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your Tech Radar process by automatically transforming Google Sheets data into digestible Google Docs and syncing it with your MySQL database. This workflow ensures your technology insights are always up-to-date and easily accessible.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the management and dissemination of your organization's Tech Radar. It begins by pulling data from a Google Sheet, transforming each row into a structured text block. This processed data is then used to update a Google Doc, creating a human-readable summary of your Tech Radar. Concurrently, the workflow prepares to archive this information by clearing existing data in a dedicated MySQL table (techradar) before inserting the latest radar details. This ensures your database always reflects the most current technology landscape. Finally, a scheduled cron job triggers this entire process monthly, guaranteeing your Tech Radar is consistently refreshed.
Key Features
- Automated Data Transformation: Converts raw spreadsheet data into easily readable paragraph formats for documentation.
- Dynamic Google Docs Generation: Updates a Google Doc with the latest Tech Radar information, keeping your documentation current.
- Database Synchronization: Cleans and updates a MySQL
techradartable, ensuring data integrity and accessibility. - Scheduled Execution: Runs automatically on a monthly basis to maintain up-to-date insights.
How To Use
- Configure Google Sheets: Ensure your Tech Radar data is in a Google Sheet and provide the
documentIdandsheetNameto the 'Google Sheets - Tech Radar' node. - Set up Google Drive: Create a Google Drive folder for your documents. Configure the 'Download Doc File From Google Drive' node with the appropriate
fileId(if applicable for a specific document) and ensure your Google Drive credentials are set up. - Define Data Transformation: The 'Code - Transform table into rows' node formats your sheet data into text blocks. Customize the
jsCodeif your data structure requires different output. - Update Google Docs: Configure the 'Google Docs - Update GDoc' node with the URL of the Google Doc you wish to update and ensure correct Google API credentials are provided.
- Configure MySQL Database: Set up your MySQL connection and ensure a
techradartable exists with the specified columns. The 'MySQL -delete all data' and 'MySQL - insert all from sheets' nodes will manage data synchronization. - Schedule Execution: Configure the 'Cron' node to define the schedule (e.g., monthly) for when the workflow should run.
- Set up Credentials: Ensure all necessary credentials (Google Drive, Google Sheets, Google Docs, MySQL) are correctly configured within n8n.
