How do I Preserve Bold Text from ChatGPT into a Google Doc?

[LaurenK]

I’ve got a scenario with a ChatGPT module. The response from ChatGPT is a list with some text that’s bold, but instead of bold text it’s putting asterisks on either side of the text (see screenshot).

I’m mapping this response into a Google Doc and rather than getting bold text in my Google Doc it’s showing up with the asterisks and it looks messy. How do I preserve the bold text so that when ChatGPT replies with bold text, it shows up in my Google Doc as bold text?

Can I do this with a text parser in Make and a script in my Google doc?

Hi @LaurenK
Workflow:

Google Docs supports HTML formatting, so you can use the Markdown module in Make.com to convert this text into HTML format.

Hi @Msquare_Automation

I just tried that but it came in with the html in the Google Doc. I’m creating a Google Doc from a template and mapping the ChatGPT result in.

Here’s my workflow:

I’m creating a Google Doc from a template

Creating from a template does not allow you to insert formatting, only variables in plain text.

You have to create the document from scratch if you want to insert a full HTML formatted document with formatting.

If you want to create a document from template and insert your own formatting, that is an advanced question for another thread.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

P.S.: Investing some effort into the Make Academy will save you lots of time and frustration using Make.

After the document is created from template you can try and use the get contents from document module to retrieve the html code. Then run another create a document module.

Hope this helps!

Hi @LaurenK
You can use download a doc module to get the html code of template doc and then replace the test_varible with the Markdown converted html code.
Workflow:

Markdown:

Download a document (select html format):

Set variable to convert the data to string:

Create a doc:
In my case I have added “[add]” variable to add new content there, so i am replacing the html code of this part .In your case it will be “test_variable”.
