Hi, I’m using self-hosted n8n and I want to connect Google Sheets via Google Cloud OAuth.
I only need Google Sheets in n8n for adding, reading, and deleting data in a specific spreadsheet.
I’m confused about what happens after the Google Cloud Free Trial ends.
Will the Google Sheets connection in self-hosted n8n continue to work if I only use it for spreadsheet data, or will it stop working unless I upgrade to a paid Google Cloud account?
Also, is there any other free way to connect Google Sheets with self-hosted n8n?
Thank you.
welcome to the n8n community @Anna5
if you are self-hosting n8n, your Google Sheets OAuth connection should keep working after the Google Cloud Free Trial ends as long as your Google Cloud project and the Sheets API remain enabled, so I would keep using a custom Google OAuth credential in n8n and just make sure the project is not suspended for billing, because n8n requires a Google Cloud project for self-hosted OAuth but the connection itself is not tied to the free-trial period.
Thank you. Just to make sure I understand correctly: does this mean that after the Google Cloud Free Trial ends, the Google Cloud project and Sheets API can still remain active without upgrading to a paid account, as long as the project is not suspended for billing reasons?
@Anna5
yes, thats right!
