Download Facebook Videos to Google Drive with Sheets Logging

This n8n workflow streamlines the process of converting Facebook video URLs into downloadable MP4 files. Triggered by a form submission with a Facebook video link, it queries the Facebook Video Downloader API on RapidAPI to retrieve high-quality MP4 download links. It then validates the response, downloads the video, uploads it to a specified Google Drive folder, sets public sharing permissions, and logs the original URL along with the shareable Drive link in a Google Sheets spreadsheet for easy tracking.

Key benefits include significant time savings for content creators, marketers, and social media managers who frequently need to archive or repurpose Facebook videos. It eliminates manual downloading, conversion errors, and disorganized file storage, ensuring all videos are securely backed up in Google Drive with instant logging for audit trails or team collaboration. The workflow is highly customizable—swap storage to Dropbox/S3, add email notifications, or handle multiple URLs.

Ideal use cases: Social media agencies archiving client videos, educators saving tutorial clips, HR teams logging training videos (despite category), or any operation needing automated video ingestion. Extend it for batch processing or quality-based filtering to match business needs.
