Template-based Google Drive folder generation with Forms and Apps Script

Overview Stop manually creating folder structures for every new client or project. This workflow provides a simple form where users enter a name, and automatically duplicates your template folder structure in Google Drive—replacing all placeholders with the submitted name.

What This Workflow Does 1. Displays a form where users enter a name (client, project, event, etc.) 2. Creates a new main folder in Google Drive 3. Calls Google Apps Script to duplicate your entire template structure 4. Replaces all {{NAME}} placeholders in files and folder names

Key Features - Simple form interface — No technical knowledge required to use - Recursive duplication — Copies all subfolders and files - Smart placeholders — Automatically replaces {{NAME}} everywhere - Production-ready — Works immediately after setup

Prerequisites - Google Drive account with OAuth2 credentials in n8n - Google Apps Script deployment (code below) - Template folder in Drive using {{NAME}} as placeholder
