The idea is:
Implement a native Google Cloud Pub/Sub Trigger node in n8n to allow workflows to be initiated by messages published to a specified Pub/Sub topic.
My use case:
As an n8n user, I want to automate processes that respond immediately to events in my Google Cloud infrastructure. For example:
- Triggering data processing workflows when new data is available.
- Initiating alerting mechanisms upon specific system events.
- Synchronizing services in real-time based on event-driven architectures.
I think it would be beneficial to add this because:
- Real-time Processing: Enables workflows to react instantly to events, reducing latency compared to polling mechanisms.
- Simplified Integration: Provides a seamless way to connect Google Cloud services with n8n, enhancing automation capabilities.
- Community Demand: There have been requests for this feature, indicating a user need. (n8n Community Forum)
Any resources to support this?
- Existing Implementations:
- A community-developed node for Google Pub/Sub exists but is archived and may lack official support. (GitHub Repository)
- An extended version of the above node is available but may not be actively maintained. (GitHub Repository)
- Google Cloud Documentation:
- Information on triggering functions from Pub/Sub using Eventarc. (Google Cloud Documentation)
- Details on Pub/Sub triggers in Cloud Run. (Google Cloud Documentation)
Are you willing to work on this?
I would love to work on this.
