Weekly Harvest Report Sent to Google Drive
A weekly n8n workflow rolls up all your Harvest time entrys from the last 7 days into a summary, then has Google Drive save a copy to Google Drive so your team never has to dig for the numbers.
- 1
Fetch Harvest data
Add an
HTTP Requestnode (or the native Harvest node if you have credentials set up) and point it at the Harvest API. Run on a weekly Schedule Trigger and fetch this week's time entrys. Add aSchedule Triggerbefore it if this recipe runs on a timer, or aWebhooknode if Harvest 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 Harvest time entry. This keeps the rest of the workflow clean and readable. - 3
Send it to Google Drive
Add a
Google Drivenode set to operationUpload. Connect your Google account, choose the destinationFolder, and pass the file/summary through from the Set node. - 4
Activate and test
Click
Activatein the top-right corner. Trigger a real time entry in Harvest (or run the workflow manually against existing data) and confirm it lands correctly in Google Drive. 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 Harvest and Google Drive accounts, map the fields, and activate — no code required.
Where do I get my Harvest API credentials?
In your Harvest 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 Harvest 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 Drive step and leave FALSE empty to skip the rest.
