Sync Google Drive Uploads to Notion Database
detail.loadingPreview
Automatically create new Notion database pages for every file uploaded to a specific Google Drive folder. This workflow ensures seamless documentation and easy access to your cloud-stored files within your Notion workspace.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a powerful bridge between your Google Drive storage and Notion knowledge base. It's designed to automate the often-manual process of tracking and documenting new files. When a file is uploaded to a designated folder in Google Drive, this automation springs into action, instantly creating a new page in your specified Notion database. Each Notion page is intelligently titled with the name of the uploaded file and includes a direct, clickable link back to the original file in Google Drive. This workflow is ideal for teams and individuals looking to maintain an organized, searchable, and always up-to-date record of important documents without any manual data entry.
