Ways to connect Google Drive and Spike

Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Create your own Google Drive and Spike connection

Create custom Google Drive + Spike automations by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.

To set up Spike integration, add the HTTP Request node to your workflow canvas and authenticate it using a generic authentication method. The HTTP Request node makes custom API calls to Spike to query the data you need using the API endpoint URLs you provide.

See the example here

Requires additional credentials set up

Use n8n's HTTP Request node with a predefined or generic credential type to make custom API calls.
