Automated Multi-Bank Balance Sync to BigQuery

This workflow automatically fetches balances from multiple financial institutions (RBC, Amex, Wise, PayPal) using Plaid, maps them to QuickBooks account names, and loads structured records into Google BigQuery for analytics.

Who’s it for?

Finance teams, accountants, and data engineers managing consolidated bank reporting in Google BigQuery.

How it works

  1. The Schedule Trigger runs weekly.
  2. Four Plaid API calls fetch balances from RBC, Amex, Wise, and PayPal.
  3. Each response splits out individual accounts and maps them to QuickBooks names.
  4. All accounts are merged into one dataset.
  5. The workflow structures the account data, generates UUIDs, and formats SQL inserts.
  6. BigQuery node uploads the finalized records.

How to set up

Add Plaid and Google BigQuery credentials, replace client IDs and secrets with variables, test each connection, and schedule the trigger for your reporting cadence.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/9988/9988.json as the source template for this automation.

  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.
