Parse receipts: MySQL
Runs on a schedule across MySQL and Google Drive, parses the incoming file into rows, then runs the custom logic in a Code node. Built for contracts, around a "Download from Google Drive" step, in 9 documented nodes.
Parse receipts with Google Drive and MySQL without manual work. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'File Processing' pattern for legal & compliance. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 9 nodes across MySQL, Google Drive. It uses n8n's LangChain AI nodes (Agent/Chain + chat model). Retry-on-fail is enabled on external calls. Import the JSON, add your credentials, and adapt the parameters. What used to take a morning now runs on its own.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps MySQL and Google Drive in step for contracts, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed MySQL or Google Drive call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 9 nodes in this contracts build
- ✓Every contracts run leaves an audit row behind, alongside MySQL
- ✓Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 9 nodes for contracts before wiring MySQL
- ✓9 nodes, each with a doc card explaining what it does for contracts
Use cases
- →Teams keeping MySQL and Google Drive aligned by hand for contracts
- →Contracts work where "Download from Google Drive" is still a manual step before MySQL
- →Contracts work that only reaches MySQL on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it
Integrations
Workflow preview (9 nodes)
The template's actual node layout and connections. Node parameters and credential slots unlock with the download.
What's inside (9 nodes)
A look at the node types this workflow uses. No purchase required — full parameters and credentials are yours after you buy.
From download to running in 3 steps
- 1Import. In n8n, open Workflows → menu → “Import from File” and pick the downloaded JSON.
- 2Connect. Add your own credentials on the app nodes - n8n highlights exactly which ones need them.
- 3Activate. Run it once to test, then toggle Active. The automation is live.
What you'll learn
Foundation levelA starter-sized build - small enough to hold in your head while you learn the pattern.
- •Downloading and parsing CSV, XLSX, or PDF into JSON items
- •Archiving the processed file
- •Moving data between Google Drive and MySQL in a single run
Every node carries its own documentation on the canvas, plus notes explaining why the architecture was built this way, a credential setup guide, troubleshooting, and three practice exercises. Sample data comes pinned to the trigger, so you can hit Execute and watch data flow before connecting a single account.
Common questions
What exactly do I get?
The complete, ready-to-import n8n workflow as a JSON file, delivered instantly after payment. Import it into your own n8n (cloud or self-hosted), add your credentials, and it runs.
How do I import it into n8n?
In n8n, open Workflows, click the three-dot menu, choose “Import from File”, and select the downloaded JSON. Then connect your own app credentials on the highlighted nodes.
Do I need anything else for it to work?
You need your own n8n instance and accounts/credentials for the apps this workflow connects to (MySQL, Google Drive). No coding is required.
What if it doesn't work for me?
If the file is faulty, won't import, or isn't as described, contact us within 7 days and we'll fix it or refund you - see our refund policy.
Can I modify or resell it?
You can freely adapt and use it in your own or your clients' projects. Reselling or redistributing the template file itself is not permitted.
