Celebrate Every Google News Milestone in Google Sheets
When a Google News article hits a meaningful milestone, n8n catches it and has Google Sheets append it as a new row in a spreadsheet — a small, automatic celebration your team actually sees.
- 1
Fetch Google News data
Add an
HTTP Requestnode (or the native Google News node if you have credentials set up) and point it at the Google News API. Poll Google News for new articles and check against a threshold. Add aSchedule Triggerbefore it if this recipe runs on a timer, or aWebhooknode if Google News can push events directly. - 2
Shape the data with a Set node
Add a
Setnode after the fetch step to pull out the fields you need — e.g.id,title(orname),status, andupdated_atfrom the Google News article. This keeps the rest of the workflow clean and readable. - 3
Send it to Google Sheets
Add a
Google Sheetsnode set to operationAppend Row. Connect your Google account, choose theSpreadsheetandSheet, and map each field from the Set node to a matching column. - 4
Activate and test
Click
Activatein the top-right corner. Trigger a real article in Google News (or run the workflow manually against existing data) and confirm it lands correctly in Google Sheets. Once verified, this runs hands-off.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to code anything?
No. n8n is a visual, drag-and-drop builder. You connect your Google News and Google Sheets accounts, map the fields, and activate — no code required.
Where do I get my Google News API credentials?
In your Google News account settings, look for "API", "Developers" or "Integrations" and generate an API key or token. Paste it into n8n's HTTP Request node (as a header or credential) or the native Google News node if one is available.
Can I filter which items trigger this workflow?
Yes. Add an `IF` node after the Set node with a condition on any field (status, amount, tag, etc.). Wire the TRUE branch to the Google Sheets step and leave FALSE empty to skip the rest.
