Google docs doesn`t work


Google Docs does not work, I did everything in Google cloud (gmail is working), writes an error (screenshot above). Can you tell me how to solve the problem? I tried it both on selfhost and in n8n.io the problem is everywhere .

I have distributed access to the table

Information on your n8n setup

  • 1.83.2
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via Docker
  • Debian 12 (vps), Windows 11(host)

Hello and welcome to the community!

How do you specify the file to work with - From the List, by URL, by ID?
Can you access other docs?

Can you post the node or entire workflow using the </> button here?

I tried both ID and URL.

Does your associated app/project on GCP have Google Docs API enabled?

Yep

I can get data through an HTTP Request, so it doesn’t work through the Google Docs module.

That’s weird. Just tested on my side with a doc that I own and the one shared with me. All I needed to do is to enable Google Docs API on my GCP project as above.

Does it work as expected with the docs that you own?

only via HTTPS Request, but there is so much unnecessary information that I don’t really want to use this method. I would like to find out why the Docs module doesn’t work for me. I tried to create a new one, but it still doesn’t work.

The node works as expected for me. 404 here is the response from Google services. There is a chance that n8n sends corrupted data (doc id) - although this didn’t happen in my scenario.

Must be something with access scope or resource-level permissions.

I am sorry, cannot see my ways to help you here. Just run out of the ideas.

Thank you for trying, I will continue to look for a solution, if I find it, I will write.

I had a similar problem when initiating Google Cloud and running the Google Drive API for first time. It was suggested to add my Gmail under Test users under Audience in the Google Auth Platform. That worked for me.
