Day One + Google Docs + Formatter by Zapier

Create Day One journal entries in Markdown for new Google Docs

Managing multiple Google Docs can make it difficult to keep a clean archive of your writing in a consistent format. This integration can help, automatically converting each new Google Doc into Markdown and saveing it to Day One as a journal entry. It helps you keep your work organized in a format that’s easy to read, edit, or reuse later.

About Formatter by Zapier

Data isn't always in the format you need. Perhaps a date is in International format, but your app needs it in American format. Or maybe you need to Title Case a subject, truncate text for a Tweet, or turn Markdown text into HTML for your blog. Zapier's Formatter tool can help.
