Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing an issue with my workflow in n8n that uses the Google Drive Trigger node. Here’s my setup:
- Context:
I have a Google Form where users upload name card images. These images are automatically stored in a designated Google Drive folder. - Workflow:
The workflow starts with a Google Drive Trigger node (polling every 1 minute) that’s supposed to detect new files in that folder. Downstream, I download and process the images (e.g., send them to GPT-4 for text extraction, etc.). - The Issue:
When multiple files are uploaded at once (for example, 4 files via the form), the trigger node only returns the newest file instead of all the newly added files. This means that even though several images are uploaded, only one file is processed by the workflow. - Is there a configuration or workaround within the Google Drive Trigger node that will allow it to capture and return all new files when multiple files are added simultaneously? If not, are there any best practices or recommendations for handling this scenario while still using the trigger node?
Any guidance or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
