Automated Google Sheets Data Sync and Update
detail.loadingPreview
Automate your Google Sheets data management with this workflow. It reads data from a specified sheet, processes it, and updates multiple sheets on a recurring schedule.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a robust solution for managing your Google Sheets data automatically. It's designed to read data from a specific range within a Google Sheet, synchronize it, and then update multiple target sheets with the latest information. The workflow is triggered by a cron job that runs every two hours, ensuring your data is consistently up-to-date. This is ideal for teams that rely on shared spreadsheets for project tracking, inventory management, or reporting, eliminating manual data entry and potential errors.
Key Features
- Scheduled Automation: Runs automatically every 2 hours to keep your data fresh.
- Bi-directional Sync: Reads from one sheet and writes to multiple others.
- Flexible Data Range: Easily configurable to target specific columns (A:G in this example).
- Raw Data Handling: Preserves the integrity of your data during transfer.
- Error Reduction: Minimizes manual errors associated with data duplication.
How To Use

cronExpressionto your desired schedule. The current setting0 */2 * * * *means it will run every 2 hours. - Configure Read Sheet Node: Specify the Google Sheet and the exact
rangeyou want to read data from (e.g.,Data!A:G). Ensure you have the Google Sheets integration set up and authorized. - Configure Write Sheet 1 & 2 Nodes: For each write operation, ensure the
rangeparameter correctly references the target sheet and range. The example uses={{$node["Read Sheet"].parameter["range"]}}which dynamically sets the range from the 'Read Sheet' node. Select theoperationasupdate. - Connect Nodes: Link the 'Cron' node to the 'Read Sheet' node. Then, link the 'Read Sheet' node to both 'Write Sheet 1' and 'Write Sheet 2' nodes.
