    • Folder for new Document

      Click the dropdown repeatedly to drill down into subfolders. Places at the top-level if none picked.

    • Sharing Preference

      Grant access to third parties when sharing documents via direct links, exports and/or embed links. Your GDrive's default sharing preferences will be used otherwise.

    • Unused Fields Preference

      What to do with any unused template fields. You can keep the fields so they remain unmodified (e.g. "{{email}}"), remove them so there is no text instead, or replace them with a fallback custom value of your choice. By default, any unused fields will be kept unmodified.

    Action
    Write
    • Document NameRequired

    • Document ContentRequired

      Plain text content to put inside the new doc. Also supports basic, inline HTML to format text and add links. More complex layouts like tables are not likely to work well.

    • Folder

      Click the dropdown repeatedly to drill down into subfolders. Places at the top-level if none picked.

    • Api Docs Info

      API docs for Google Docs are located here https://developers.google.com/docs/api/how-tos/overview

    • URLRequired

      Requests can only be made to domains associated by this application.

    • Query String Parameters

      These params will be URL-encoded and appended to the URL when making the request.

    • Headers

      Authentication headers are included automatically

    • Additional Request Headers

      Zapier will apply these optional headers and values to the request in addition to any headers created as part of the authentication mechanism.

    • Body

      Zapier will pass this along raw. If you would like to provide complex JSON, try a "Code by Zapier" step to build the structure and pass it along here. For example, {"foo": "bar"} is perfectly valid.
