Unlock Workflow Control with Google Sheets as Your n8n UI
detail.loadingPreview
Transform your n8n workflows by leveraging Google Sheets as an intuitive user interface. This template allows for easy input and output management, giving you greater control over your automated processes.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow template revolutionizes how you interact with your automations by using Google Sheets as a functional UI. Instead of diving into complex node configurations, you can manage inputs and outputs directly within a familiar spreadsheet environment. The workflow reads specific rows from a Google Sheet (marked as 'READY'), processes them, and then updates their status in the sheet to 'DONE' after transformation. This offers a powerful, accessible way to control and monitor your automated tasks, making n8n even more user-friendly and efficient for a wider range of operations.
Key Features
- Google Sheets Integration: Seamlessly read and write data to your Google Sheets.
- Intuitive UI: Utilize a familiar spreadsheet interface for workflow control.
- Status-Based Processing: Automatically process rows marked with a specific status (e.g., 'READY').
- Automated Status Updates: Mark processed rows as 'DONE' for clear tracking.
- Data Transformation: Modify and enrich data before updating the sheet.
How To Use
- Set up Google Sheets Integration: Configure your n8n credentials for Google Sheets (Service Account authentication is recommended for robust integration).
- Prepare Your Google Sheet: Create a Google Sheet with columns such as 'Color', 'Status', and 'Number'. Ensure rows you want to process have 'READY' in the 'Status' column.
- Configure 'Read Google Sheets' Node: Specify the
documentIdandsheetNameof your Google Sheet. Set a filter to only retrieve rows where the 'Status' column is 'READY'. - Configure 'Loop Over Items' Node: This node will iterate through each row fetched from Google Sheets.
- Configure 'Edit Fields' Node: Define how you want to transform your data. For example, you can use expressions to set a 'row_number', calculate a 'Number' based on existing data (e.g.,
{{ $json.Color.length }}), and set the 'Status' to 'DONE'. - Configure 'Update Google Sheets' Node: This node will update the Google Sheet. Ensure 'operation' is set to 'update'. Map the 'row_number' to match the row you are updating, and pass the transformed 'Status' and 'Number' values.
- Connect Nodes: Ensure the connections are set up as shown in the JSON snippet, flowing from manual trigger to reading, looping, editing, and finally updating the sheet.
- Execute Workflow: Click 'Execute workflow' on the manual trigger node to initiate the process.
