How the Automation Works

A Technical Overview of the Google Indexing Workflow

The Workflow Process

  1. Trigger: The workflow can be manually triggered or scheduled to run automatically
  2. Sitemap Extraction: An HTTP request fetches your sitemap XML file
  3. Format Conversion: The sitemap is transformed from XML to JSON for processing
  4. URL Parsing: Individual URLs are extracted and prepared for submission
  5. API Submission: Each URL is sent to the Google Indexing API through a controlled loop
  6. Rate Management: Built-in delays ensure compliance with Google's API limits
  7. Error Handling: Automatic management of daily submission limits (200/day)

This workflow leverages n8n's HTTP Request integration to communicate with Google's systems while maintaining a structured, controlled approach to API usage.
