Connect Google Docs

  1. In Neblex open Connect › Connections and click Connect a Service.
  2. Choose Google Docs and whether the connection is shared across the workspace or used in one project.
  3. Click Authorize and approve access in the window that opens. The connection is created.
For services offered under Connect a Service you only sign in and approve access. Otherwise use Connect with OAuth2 with your own OAuth app. See Authorize with OAuth.

There are no fields to fill in: you sign in to Google Docs and approve access.

Use it in a flow

  1. Open a flow, open the node library and search for Google Docs.
  2. Drag it onto the canvas and choose an Operation and your connection.
  3. Map the operation's fields from earlier steps, or click Map with Matt.
  4. Use Test this step to see what it returns, then save.

To start a flow from Google Docs without a ready-made trigger: a Poll for changes trigger can check one of its list operations on a schedule and pass on only what is new; if Google Docs can send webhooks, a Webhook trigger receives them at its own URL.

Operations

4 operations in 1 groups. Each one is a step you can add to a flow.
