This n8n workflow automates the process of saving email attachments directly to Google Drive, streamlining document management. It is triggered whenever a new email with an attachment is received in Gmail, and automatically uploads the attachment to a specified folder in Google Drive, appending the sender’s email to the filename for easier identification.
Step-by-step, the workflow works as follows:
1. The Gmail trigger monitors the inbox for new emails that contain attachments, polling every minute.
2. When an email with attachments is detected, a function node extracts each attachment’s filename.
3. The workflow then connects to Google Drive to upload each attachment, naming the files with a combination of the original filename and the sender’s email address.
4. The files are stored in the root directory of Google Drive, making them easy to locate and access.
This automation is ideal for users who need to regularly save email attachments to cloud storage for record-keeping, audit purposes, or project management, without manual intervention.
