Never lose a Google Search Console search query again — this workflow copies every new one straight to Google Sheets, where it has Google Sheets append it as a new row in a spreadsheet as a standing backup.

  1. 1

    Fetch Google Search Console data

    Add an HTTP Request node (or the native Google Search Console node if you have credentials set up) and point it at the Google Search Console API. Poll Google Search Console for new search querys. Add a Schedule Trigger before it if this recipe runs on a timer, or a Webhook node if Google Search Console can push events directly.

  2. 2

    Shape the data with a Set node

    Add a Set node after the fetch step to pull out the fields you need — e.g. id, title (or name), status, and updated_at from the Google Search Console search query. This keeps the rest of the workflow clean and readable.

  3. 3

    Send it to Google Sheets

    Add a Google Sheets node set to operation Append Row. Connect your Google account, choose the Spreadsheet and Sheet, and map each field from the Set node to a matching column.

  4. 4

    Activate and test

    Click Activate in the top-right corner. Trigger a real search query in Google Search Console (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 Search Console and Google Sheets accounts, map the fields, and activate — no code required.

Where do I get my Google Search Console API credentials?

In your Google Search Console 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 Search Console 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.
