Create an Onfleet Task When a File in Google Drive is Updated

This n8n workflow automates the creation of delivery tasks in Onfleet whenever a new or updated file is detected in a specified Google Drive folder. This is ideal for businesses that manage deliveries based on document updates, such as order forms, dispatch requests, or inventory updates.

What it does

1. Monitors Google Drive: Listens for new or updated files in a configured Google Drive folder.
2. Creates Onfleet Task: For each detected file event, it creates a new task in Onfleet.

Prerequisites/Requirements

• n8n Account: An active n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted).
• Google Drive Account: A Google account with access to the folder you wish to monitor.
• Onfleet Account: An Onfleet account with API access.

Setup/Usage

1. Import the workflow: Download the provided JSON and import it into your n8n instance.
2. Configure Google Drive Trigger:
   • Click on the "Google Drive Trigger" node.
   • Select or create a Google Drive OAuth2 API credential.
   • Specify the "Folder ID" you want to monitor for file updates.
   • Choose the "Events" you want to trigger the workflow (e.g., "File Updated", "File Created").
3. Configure Onfleet Node:
   • Click on the "Onfleet" node.
   • Select or create an Onfleet API Key credential.
   • The node is currently configured to create a task. You will need to customize the task details (e.g., recipient name, address, notes, quantity, etc.) using expressions that pull data from the Google Drive trigger's output. For example, you might use {{ $json.name }} for the file name as a task note.
