Automate Website Screenshots From Google Sheets to Google Drive
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly capture website screenshots by simply adding URLs to a Google Sheet. This workflow automatically takes a screenshot of each new URL and saves it to a designated folder in your Google Drive, keeping your visual archives organized and up-to-date.
About This Workflow
Tired of manually taking screenshots of websites for tracking, archiving, or analysis? This powerful n8n workflow automates the entire process, saving you significant time and effort. Triggered by new rows in a specified Google Sheet, it fetches the URL, captures a high-quality screenshot of the webpage, and then uploads it directly to a chosen folder in your Google Drive. Ideal for competitive analysis, content auditing, or simply maintaining a visual record of important web pages, this automation ensures your screenshot library is always current and easily accessible without manual intervention.
Key Features
- Google Sheets Integration: Automatically triggers upon new row additions in your specified Google Sheet, making it simple to add new URLs for capture.
- Automated Website Screenshots: Captures full-page screenshots of any URL provided, ensuring visual accuracy and completeness.
- Google Drive Storage: Seamlessly uploads generated screenshots to a designated folder in your Google Drive for organized archiving and easy access.
- Dynamic Naming: Names screenshot files based on data from your Google Sheet (e.g., a 'Title' column), making them easy to identify.
- Set-and-Forget Automation: Once configured, the workflow runs continuously, requiring no further manual input for ongoing screenshot capture.
How To Use
- Install Custom Node: Before proceeding, install the
@custom-js/n8n-nodes-pdf-toolkitcommunity node. You can do this from your n8n instance by navigating to 'Settings' -> 'Community Nodes' and searching for 'PDF Toolkit'. - Configure Google Sheets Trigger: Connect your Google Sheets account. Select the Google Spreadsheet (
URL list) and the specific sheet (Sheet1) you want to monitor. Ensure your sheet has columns like 'Url' and 'Title' for best results. - Configure 'Take a screenshot of a website' Node: This node is already set up to take the 'Url' from the previous Google Sheet data. No further configuration is typically needed if your sheet column is named 'Url'.
- Configure 'Store Screenshots' (Google Drive) Node: Connect your Google Drive account. Select 'My Drive' and then specify the target folder where you want to store the screenshots (e.g., 'screenshots'). The filename is dynamically set to use the 'Title' column from your Google Sheet data, saving them as
your_title.png. - Activate Workflow: Once configured, save and activate the workflow. It will now automatically capture and store screenshots every time a new row is added to your Google Sheet.
