Google Drive - Trigger on Changes involving a specific folder not working

Questions
1

Context:
I’ve set up a ‘Trigger on Changes involving a specific folder’ in Google Drive node, and tried ‘Watch for File Created’ and ‘Watch for File Updated’. The polling time is set to ‘every minute’. The workflow is active.

Actions:
I add a file (tried pdf and google doc) to the selected folder and wait 1 minute, nothing happens. There is no error, is just doesnt trigger the workflow.

I’ve read through all the other similar questions which didnt help.

Please help! Without this functionality there is no point using n8n for a RAG set up. Many thanks!

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: latest
  • Database (default: SQLite): Postgres
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): self hosted railway.app
  • Operating system: windows

Hi @Strider

Thar setup should work indeed. Can you try recreating the credentials and setting a larger pool like 10 minutes?

Does this same issue happen on our cloud? Mind trying there as well please?

Also, still on railway, do any other GDrive trigger work at all? I’m wondering if this is something to do with the credentials all together.

Thanks!
