Automate Google Classroom with Gemini AI: Topics, assignments & student tracking

Automate Google Classroom: Topics, Assignments & Student Tracking Automate Google Classroom via the Google Classroom API to efficiently manage courses, topics, teachers, students, announcements, and coursework. Use Cases Educational Institution Management Sync rosters, post weekly announcements, and generate submission reports automatically. Remote Learning Coordination Batch-create assignments, track engagement, and auto-notify teachers on new submissions. Training Program Automation Automate training modules, manage enrollments, and generate completion/compliance reports. Prerequisites - n8n (cloud or self-hosted) - Google Cloud Console access for OAuth setup - Google Classroom API enabled - Google Gemini API key (free) for the agent brain — or swap in any other LLM if preferred Setup Instructions Step 1: Google Cloud Project 1. Create a new project in Google Cloud Console. 2. Enable Google Classroom API. 3. Create OAuth 2.0 Client ID credentials. 4. Add your n8n OAuth callback URL as a redirect URI. 5. Note down the Client ID and Client Secret. Step 2: OAuth Setup in n8n 1. In n8n, open HTTP Request Node → Authentication → Predefined Credential Type. 2. Select Google OAuth2 API. 3. Enter your Client ID and Client Secret. 4. Click Connect my account to complete authorization. 5. Test the connection. Step 3: Import & Configure Workflow 1. Import this workflow template into n8n. 2. Link all Google Classroom nodes to your OAuth credential. 3. Configure the webhook if using external triggers. 4. Test each agent for API connectivity. Step 4: Customization You can customize each agent’s prompt to your liking for optimal results, or copy and modify node code to expand functionality. All operations use HTTP Request nodes, so you can integrate more tools via the Google Classroom API documentation. This workflow provides a strong starting point for deeper automation and integration. Features Course Topics List, create, update, or delete topics within a course.
