Google Drive File Created Trigger Not Working

Describe the problem/error/question

The Google Drive Trigger should trigger every thirty minutes and find new files that were created. I think there may be some limit to the amount it can handle and it doesn’t even trigger or put an execution whatsoever. Any help is appreciated!

What is the error message (if any)?

No error message… It’s not even triggering even though i should have it triggering every 30 mins

Please share your workflow

Share the output returned by the last node

There’s no last node necessarily as it’s a loop.

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.55.3
  • Database (default: SQLite): Probably default
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): Probably default
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): n8n cloud
  • Operating system: I don’t know

Hey @ashtonwinn ,

Thanks for sharing the issue here.

When I hoover over the issue symbol on your Google Driver Node it shows:

Issues:
** Credentials with name ashton.winn7 Account do not exist for googleDriveOAuth2Api.**
** You can create credentials with the exact name and then they get auto-selected on refresh…**

It seems your credentials are not correct. Have you test it with Success outcome?

I would suggest to start simple and add flow details as things are vaildated. This way you will ensure first it is picking the files created and it will then show as Execution.

1- I did create a quick flow with Google Drive:
Mode => Every Minute
Trigger on => Changes Involving a Specific Folder
Folder By URL ==> The URL of my Google Driver Folder
Watch for ==> File Created

2- I linked it to a Covert File (to JSON) for testing purpose.

3- Activate the Workflow so the trigger will be observed according to the time:

I noticed that if there is no change at all in the folder then the Executions does not list anything after the time specificied (1 minute). However if I add a file or duplicate a previous existing file in my folder then the Execution lists it when the workflow is triggered:

Also, if you go to your workflow and click on Test workflow, does it work and does it result as shown in the Execution list? If it works, it should show in the execution list as a Test Execution( it is the ones with the symbol of a lab flask on the right.
