Automated Credential Restoration from Google Drive

This n8n workflow automates the process of restoring credentials in n8n from a backup stored on Google Drive. It is designed to facilitate quick recovery or migration of credentials by automating the retrieval and re-import of credential data. The workflow begins with a manual trigger, allowing the user to initiate the process when needed. It then fetches a specific credentials JSON file from Google Drive, downloads the file, and converts its contents into JSON format. The data is processed to handle multiple credentials, and the workflow iterates through each credential item. For each credential, it checks whether it needs to be skipped or restored. If restoration is required, it uses the n8n API to restore credentials dynamically within the platform. The process includes waiting periods for stability and logs for transparency. This setup is especially useful for administrators managing large n8n setups, ensuring secure and efficient credential management, especially during migrations, backups, or recovery scenarios.
