How Do I Back Up Feedspace Testimonials to Google Drive with n8n?

Overview

Connect Feedspace to Google Drive via n8n to automatically upload each new testimonial file to a designated Drive folder. This creates an off-platform backup and makes testimonials easy to access and share with your team.

Automation through webhooks is available on Professional and Business plans in Feedspace.

Step 1: Create a workflow in n8n

1. Log in to your n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted). On the home screen, click Build a workflow.
2. Click the workflow name My workflow at the top to rename it, e.g., Feedspace to Google Drive Backup.

Step 2: Add a webhook trigger node

1. Click Add first step…
2. A panel opens showing “What triggers this workflow?”. Select On webhook call.
3. In the Webhook node panel, change HTTP Method from GET to POST.
4. Click the Production URL tab and copy the webhook URL — you will need this in the next step.

Step 3: Register the webhook in Feedspace

1. Log in to your Feedspace dashboard and click Automation in the left sidebar.
2. Click the Webhook tab.
3. Click Create Webhook and paste your n8n URL into the Endpoint URL field.
4. Click Create Webhook to save. All available events are subscribed by default.
5. Click Activate in the Action column on the new webhook row to start sending event data to n8n.

Step 4: (Optional) Download the file first

If you want to upload the actual video file rather than just saving a link, add an HTTP Request node between the Webhook trigger and the Google Drive node:

1. Click + and add an HTTP Request node.
2. Set Method to GET and map the URL to {{ $json.file_url }}.
3. Set Response Format to File.

Step 5: Add a Google Drive node

1. Click + to add an action node.
2. Search for Google Drive, click it, and select Upload file from the Actions panel.
3. Click Connect to Google Drive to connect your Google account.
4. Select the destination Parent Folder in your Drive.
5. Set the File Name dynamically, for example: {{ $json.reviewer_name }} - {{ $json.created_at }}.mp4.
6. Map the Binary Data from the HTTP Request node (or use the file URL directly if uploading by URL).

Step 6: Test and activate the workflow

In the Webhook node panel, click Listen for test event, then submit a test testimonial in Feedspace. Confirm the file appears in your Google Drive folder. Once confirmed, click Publish in the top right. New Feedspace testimonials will now automatically upload to your Drive.

What’s next

Once your workflow is active, you can adjust the file naming pattern in the Google Drive node’s File Name field or change the destination folder to organize testimonials by date or form.

Common questions

Do I need to download the file before uploading to Google Drive?

Only if you want to store the actual video file. If you only need to save testimonial metadata, skip the HTTP Request node and use the Google Drive node to create a file or append data to a Google Sheet instead.

Can I upload to a shared Google Drive?

Yes. Select a shared folder as the Parent Folder in the Google Drive node. You must have edit access to that folder.

What data does Feedspace send in the webhook payload?

The payload includes fields such as reviewer_name, star_rating, testimonial_text, file_url, and created_at, which you can use to name and organize files in Drive.
