🎥 Auto-Save Zoom Recordings to Google Drive + Log Meetings in Airtable

This workflow automatically saves Zoom meeting recordings to Google Drive and logs all important details into Airtable for easy tracking. Perfect for teams that want a searchable meeting archive.


⚙️ How It Works

  1. Zoom Recording Webhook

    • Listens for recording.completed events from Zoom.
    • Captures metadata (Meeting ID, Topic, Host, File Type, File Size, etc.).
  2. Normalize Recording Data

    • A Code node extracts and formats Zoom payload into clean JSON.
  3. Download Recording

    • Uses HTTP Request to download the recording file.
  4. Upload to Google Drive

    • Saves the recording into your chosen Google Drive folder.
    • Returns the file ID and share link.
  5. Log Result

    • Combines Zoom metadata with Google Drive file info.
  6. Save to Airtable

    • Logs all details into your Meeting Logs table:
      • Meeting ID
      • Topic
      • Host
      • File Type
      • File Size
      • Google Drive Saved (Yes/No)
      • Drive Link
      • Timestamp

🛠️ Setup Steps

1. Zoom

  • Create a Zoom App → enable recording.completed event.
  • Add the workflow’s Webhook URL as your Zoom Event Subscription endpoint.

2. Google Drive

  • Connect OAuth in n8n.
  • Replace YOUR_FOLDER_ID with your destination Drive folder.

3. Airtable

  • Create a base with table Meeting Logs.
  • Add columns:
    • Meeting ID
    • Topic
    • Host
    • File Type
    • File Size
    • Google Drive Saved
    • Drive Link
    • Timestamp
  • Replace YOUR_AIRTABLE_BASE_ID in the node.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
