Hello

Im moving over from Zapier to Make. What I’m trying to achieve is:

1. watch a google drive folder for new docs
2. create wordpress post from google doc (include formatting)

I’m able to get the title but i cant for the life of me figure out “Contents” as I don’t have that option from the drop down.

Secondly, I’m wondering if this is something that’s also attainable via google sheets + formatting (I dont think formatting is possible on sheets unless its possibly a HTML pasted code)

Welcome to the Make community!

**A. You’ll can use the “Get Content of a Document” module to get the document contents:**

**B. Alternatively, you can also use the “Download a Document” (as HTML) to get the formatting:**

thanks for getting back thanks for getting back to me. i definitely want formatting (imagine a WP post without any!)

two things, when i post, how do i make sure it gets published right away instead of going to a draft?

secondly, when i go the download a doc & html route, and let the flow run to the point the post is saved as a draft - the second i click PUBLISH, my entire website becomes left justified! if i move the post back to draft - my website is back to normal!

Your article body must not contain the html tags: `<html>` or `<head>` or `<body>` tags, or anything within the `<head> </head>` tags.

GREEN = OK

My article body is just text with a few bolded headlines (no html at all). The tags come in automatically from the post to wordpress automation within [make.com](http://make.com)

my suspicion is that the issue occurs under Content = Data, but i dont have anything else instead of Data that seems applicable

You might need to process the `data` from {{5}} to strip/replace/remove the unnecessary formatting then.

You can use the “Text Replace” module with this pattern to strip out unnecessary HTML.
