Overview

This n8n workflow automatically retrieves the monthly CrUX (Chrome User Experience) Report from Google BigQuery and updates the data in NocoDB.
It removes the previous month’s data before inserting the new dataset, ensuring your database always contains the latest CrUX rankings for website origins.
The flow is fully automated, using schedule triggers to handle both data cleanup and data insertion each month.


Tasks

  • ⏰ Runs automatically on a monthly schedule
  • 🔢 Converts the month name to a numeric value for table selection
  • 🧹 Deletes last month’s CrUX data from NocoDB
  • 🌐 Queries Google BigQuery for the latest monthly dataset
  • 💾 Inserts the new CrUX rankings into NocoDB
  • ⚙️ Keeps your database up to date with zero manual effort

🛠 How to Use

1️⃣ Set Up BigQuery Access

  • Connect your Google BigQuery credentials.
  • Make sure your project includes access to the chrome-ux-report public dataset.

2️⃣ Adjust the Query

  • In the Google BigQuery node, change the LIMIT value to control how many top-ranked sites are retrieved.
  • Ensure the {{ $json.table }} field correctly references the dataset for the desired month (e.g., 202509).

3️⃣ Prepare NocoDB Table

  • Create a table in NocoDB with fields: origin, crux_rank, and any additional metadata you wish to track.

4️⃣ Schedule Automation

  • The workflow includes two Schedule Trigger nodes:
    • One runs the data cleanup process (deletes last month).
    • One runs the data insertion for the new month.

5️⃣ Run or Activate the Workflow

  • Activate it to run automatically each month.
  • You can also run it manually to refresh data on demand.

📋 Prerequisites

Before running this workflow, make sure you complete the following setup steps:

  • 🧱 Enable BigQuery API

  • 📊 Access the Chrome UX Report Dataset

  • 🔑 Connect BigQuery to n8n

    • In n8n, create credentials for your Google BigQuery account using Service Account Authentication.
    • Ensure the account has permission to query the chrome-ux-report dataset.
  • 🗄️ Create a NocoDB Table

    • In NocoDB, create a new table to store your CrUX data with the following fields:
      • origin → Short text
      • crux_rank → Number
  • ⚙️ Connect NocoDB to n8n

    • Use your NocoDB API Token to connect and allow the workflow to read/write data.

What is CrUX Rank?

CrUX Rank (Chrome User Experience Rank) is a metric from Google’s Chrome UX Report (CrUX) dataset that indicates a website’s popularity based on real user visits.
It reflects how frequently an origin (website) is loaded by Chrome users around the world.

  • A lower rank number means the site is more popular (e.g., rank 1 = top site).
  • The data is collected from anonymized Chrome usage statistics, aggregated monthly.
  • This rank helps you track site popularity trends and compare your domain’s visibility over time.

Automate Monthly Crux Report Transfer from BigQuery to NocoDB with Data Cleanup

This n8n workflow automates the process of extracting data from Google BigQuery, cleaning it up, and then transferring it to NocoDB. It's designed to run on a schedule, ensuring your NocoDB instance is regularly updated with the latest cleaned data from BigQuery.

What it does

This workflow performs the following key steps:

  1. Triggers on a Schedule: The workflow is initiated at predefined intervals (e.g., monthly) by the Schedule Trigger node.
  2. Queries Google BigQuery: It connects to Google BigQuery to fetch the raw "Crux Report" data.
  3. Cleans and Transforms Data: The Edit Fields (Set) node is used to perform data cleanup and transformation, ensuring the data is in the correct format for NocoDB.
  4. Processes Data in Batches: The Loop Over Items (Split in Batches) node processes the BigQuery results in manageable batches, which is efficient for large datasets and prevents rate limiting issues.
  5. Executes Custom Code for Logic: A Code node is included, allowing for custom JavaScript logic to be applied to the data within each batch. This could involve further cleaning, validation, or enrichment.
  6. Transfers to NocoDB: Finally, the processed and cleaned data is inserted or updated in NocoDB using the NocoDB node.
  7. Provides Documentation: A Sticky Note is included for in-workflow documentation, explaining specific parts or decisions within the workflow.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

  • n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
  • Google BigQuery Account: With access to the "Crux Report" data you intend to transfer.
  • NocoDB Instance: A running NocoDB instance where the data will be stored.
  • Google BigQuery Credentials: Configured in n8n to connect to your BigQuery project.
  • NocoDB Credentials: Configured in n8n to connect to your NocoDB instance.

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the Workflow: Download the provided JSON and import it into your n8n instance.
  2. Configure Credentials:
    • Set up your Google BigQuery credentials in n8n.
    • Set up your NocoDB credentials in n8n.
  3. Configure Google BigQuery Node:
    • Select your BigQuery credential.
    • Specify the project, dataset, and table from which to retrieve the "Crux Report" data.
    • Adjust the SQL query as needed to fetch the specific data.
  4. Configure Edit Fields (Set) Node:
    • Modify the fields to clean, rename, or transform the data according to your NocoDB table structure and data requirements.
  5. Configure Code Node:
    • Update the JavaScript code to implement any specific data validation, transformation, or business logic required before sending data to NocoDB.
  6. Configure Loop Over Items (Split in Batches) Node:
    • Adjust the batch size if necessary based on the volume of your data and NocoDB's API limits.
  7. Configure NocoDB Node:
    • Select your NocoDB credential.
    • Specify the base, table, and operation (e.g., "Create," "Update," "Upsert") for the data transfer.
    • Map the incoming fields from the previous nodes to the correct columns in your NocoDB table.
  8. Configure Schedule Trigger Node:
    • Set the desired schedule for the workflow to run (e.g., monthly, weekly, daily).
  9. Activate the Workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow to start the automated data transfer.

If AI returns non-JSON, keep “Return only a JSON array” as the last line of the prompt and keep jsonOutput enabled. Consider adding validation on parsing.warnings to gate Salesforce writes. For discounts/taxes in OLI: Standard OLI fields don’t support per-line discount amounts directly; model them in UnitPrice or custom fields. Replace the Composite API URL with your org’s domain or use the Salesforce node’s Bulk Upsert for simplicity.
