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.

Note: Automation through webhooks is available only on Professional and Business Plans in Feedspace.

Step 1: Create a Workflow in n8n

1. Log in to your n8n instance and click + New Workflow.
2. Give your workflow a name, e.g., Feedspace to Google Drive Backup.

Step 2: Add a Webhook Trigger Node

1. Click Add first step, search for Webhook, and select the Webhook trigger node.
2. Set HTTP Method to POST and copy the Webhook URL.
3. Click Listen for test event.

Step 3: Register the Webhook in Feedspace

1. In Feedspace, go to Automation → Webhooks tab.
2. Click Add Webhook, paste your n8n URL, and select the New Testimonial event.
3. Click Save.

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 and select it.
3. Choose Upload as the operation.
4. Click Create new credential and connect your Google account via OAuth.
5. Select the destination Parent Folder in your Drive.
6. Set the File Name dynamically, for example: {{ $json.reviewer_name }} - {{ $json.created_at }}.mp4.
7. 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

Submit a test testimonial in Feedspace. Confirm the file appears in your Google Drive folder. Once confirmed, click Activate. New Feedspace testimonials will now automatically upload to your Drive.

Why Set This Up?
