Automated Invoice PDF Retrieval and Storage in Google Drive

This n8n workflow automates the process of fetching invoice PDFs from a smart billing service and organizing them in Google Drive. When triggered manually, the workflow begins by making an HTTP request to retrieve the invoice PDF. It then sets the appropriate data and MIME type for the file before searching for or creating a dedicated folder in Google Drive. The workflow includes conditional logic to check if the specified folder exists; if not, it creates a new folder before proceeding. It can handle multiple invoices through batching, looping over each invoice, and uploading them to the designated folder. A brief wait is incorporated for synchronization, and the folder ID is dynamically set during the process, enabling flexible and scalable document management.

This automation is useful for businesses that receive multiple invoices regularly, allowing them to streamline their accounting or document management workflows by automatically storing invoices directly in Google Drive in an organized manner, reducing manual effort and minimizing errors.
