Save Sheet Website Screenshots to Drive

Capture websites listed in newly added spreadsheet rows and save PNG files to Google Drive.

Setup

Create a Google Sheet with unique Url and Title headers. Connect Google Sheets and select the spreadsheet and sheet in Check new spreadsheet rows. Connect Screenshotbase and Google Drive, then set the destination folder ID in Choose next website. Use publicly accessible pages you are authorized to capture.

In n8n, install the CustomJS PDF Toolkit community node (tested with version 1.58.0) and configure its CustomJS credential in Take a screenshot of a website. Connect the Sheets trigger and Drive node, select the same sheet and a destination folder. Run one format.

Behavior

Each newly added row supplies a URL and title; the workflow captures a PNG and saves it as the title plus .png in the configured Drive folder. Open Flow processes rows in order within each run; separate pages may run independently. Its trigger handles up to 100 rows per page and starts from a baseline. Missing fields, a failed capture or an incomplete image stops the current run. Previously saved files remain. An uncertain Drive upload may have succeeded; inspect the destination before retrying. No cross-run deduplication is added.

Open Flow uses Screenshotbase full-page capture at 1024 pixels wide and downloads the resulting PNG before upload. It stops if the PNG dimensions indicate the service’s 20,000-pixel full-page limit, if the response is incomplete or if the image host is not Screenshotbase’s CDN. The service visits the submitted page and stores a public image URL; anyone with that URL may be able to view the image. Image size and platform execution limits apply. n8n uses the source CustomJS screenshot node, whose rendering and limits may differ.

Inspiration & credits

Changes to the source

• Replace private spreadsheet and folder identifiers with configuration and process each row separately. Open Flow uses the formal Screenshotbase Action; n8n retains the original CustomJS community node.
• Check returned PNG bytes and dimensions in Open Flow before Drive upload.
