Yes, we have full Google Docs integration functionality available in Clay. You can: • Create new Google Docs with specified content • Append text to existing documents • Find documents by URL, ID, or title Both Google Docs and Google Slides integrations work independently - you can use either or both depending on your needs.
Does that integration allow me to mail merge with brackets {{ }} like for the google slides ?
The Google Docs integration allows you to create documents with dynamic content using your Clay table data, but the documentation doesn't specifically mention bracket {{ }} placeholder functionality like Google Slides has. With Google Docs, you can create new documents with specified content and append text dynamically to existing documents using data from your Clay table. The Google Slides integration specifically mentions "placeholders" as variables from your chosen presentation template that get populated with your data. Are you looking to populate specific placeholders in a Google Docs template, or do you need to dynamically insert data from your Clay table into documents?
When I push to create a google doc in Clay how do I ensure it properly formats the text in the final google doc output ?
You can use Markdown formatting when creating Google Docs with our integration.
For more advanced formatting like line breaks and paragraphs, you can:
• Use ChatGPT enrichment to add HTML tags (like <p> for paragraphs and <br> for line breaks) to your text before sending it to Google Docs
• Use Clay's AI formula to automatically add HTML formatting tags to your content
Both methods let you format your text with proper structure before it gets inserted into the final Google Doc output.
Is there documentation on all of the markdown formatting syntaxes ?
The Google Docs integration documentation mentions that you can use Markdown formatting when creating or appending docs, and references a Loom video that explains how to use it. However, the sources don't provide a comprehensive list of all supported Markdown syntaxes specifically for Google Docs integration. The documentation indicates there's a video tutorial available that covers this topic in more detail.
Is there a way to ensure that the generated google document is always double spaced ?
The Google Docs integration supports Markdown formatting when creating or appending documents. However, the documentation doesn't specify how to control line spacing like double spacing through the integration itself. For more advanced formatting control, you could use ChatGPT enrichment or Clay's AI formula to add HTML tags to your content before sending it to Google Docs, which might include spacing-related HTML formatting. Are you looking to apply double spacing to the entire document content, or just specific sections of text within your Google Docs?
