Shopify to Google Sheets Product Sync Automation

This n8n workflow automates the process of synchronizing product data from Shopify to Google Sheets. It periodically checks for new or updated product information and ensures your Google Sheet reflects the latest data from your Shopify store.

What it does

This workflow performs the following key steps:

1. Scheduled Trigger: The workflow is initiated on a defined schedule (e.g., every hour, daily) to periodically check for updates.
2. GraphQL Query: It queries the Shopify API using GraphQL to fetch product data.
3. Edit Fields (Set): The fetched product data is transformed and formatted to match the structure required for the Google Sheet.
4. Conditional Logic (If): The workflow includes an If node, suggesting it might conditionally process data based on certain criteria (e.g., if a product is new, updated, or meets specific conditions).
5. Google Sheets Action: Based on the conditional logic, the workflow interacts with Google Sheets to either add new rows or update existing ones with the latest product information.
6. Wait (Optional): A Wait node is present, which might be used to introduce a delay between operations, possibly to respect API rate limits or to space out updates.
7. No Operation (Optional): A No Operation node is included, which typically serves as a placeholder or a path for items that do not require further processing.
8. Code (Optional): A Code node is present, indicating that custom JavaScript logic might be used for advanced data manipulation or specific business rules.
9. Sticky Note: A sticky note is included, likely for documentation or explanation within the workflow itself.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

• n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
• Shopify Account: Access to your Shopify store with API credentials configured for GraphQL access.
• Google Account: A Google account with access to Google Sheets.
• Google Sheets Spreadsheet: A pre-existing Google Sheet where product data will be synced.

Setup/Usage

1. Import the Workflow: Download the provided JSON and import it into your n8n instance.
2. Configure Credentials:
   • Shopify (GraphQL Node): Configure your Shopify API credentials in the GraphQL node. This typically involves providing your Shopify store URL and an API access token.
   • Google Sheets Node: Set up your Google Sheets credentials (OAuth2 recommended) in the Google Sheets node.
3. Customize Google Sheets Node:
   • Specify the Spreadsheet ID and Sheet Name where the product data should be written.
   • Map the fields from the incoming data to the appropriate columns in your Google Sheet.
4. Adjust Edit Fields (Set) Node: Review and modify the Edit Fields node to ensure the data transformation aligns with your Google Sheet's column structure and any specific data formatting requirements.
5. Configure If Node: If present, customize the conditions in the If node to define when product data should be processed or updated in Google Sheets.
6. Schedule Trigger: Adjust the Schedule Trigger node to your desired interval for running the sync automation (e.g., every 1 hour, once a day).
7. Activate the Workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow to start the automated product synchronization.
