Automate XML to Google Sheets Data Transfer with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly convert and transfer data from XML files directly into your Google Sheets. This n8n workflow automates the process of downloading, parsing, and organizing XML content for seamless spreadsheet management.
About This Workflow
This powerful n8n workflow streamlines the integration of your XML data into Google Sheets. It begins by manually triggering the process and then fetches an XML file from a specified URL. The downloaded XML is then intelligently parsed, and its content is structured. A new Google Sheet named 'My XML Data' is created to house your information. The workflow dynamically defines the header row based on the XML structure and writes it to the sheet. After a brief wait to ensure sheet creation, the parsed XML data is appended, populating your spreadsheet with organized, actionable insights. This solution is ideal for businesses needing to regularly ingest and analyze external XML data sources.
Key Features
- Automated XML file download from any URL.
- Intelligent XML parsing to extract structured data.
- Dynamic Google Sheets creation and naming.
- Automatic header row generation based on XML keys.
- Seamless data appending to your Google Sheet.

- Define Headers: The 'Define header row' node dynamically extracts column names from the parsed XML data.
- Write Headers: The 'Write header row' node inserts the defined headers into the newly created spreadsheet.
- Wait & Append Data: The 'Wait for spreadsheet creation' node ensures the sheet is ready, followed by the 'Write data to sheet' node appending all parsed data.
