Hello Make Community, I currently have an OpenAI/ChatGPT module for “Message an Assistant”. This creates an output as expected, which feeds into another module: Google Drive \> Upload a File. This Google Drive module maps to a folder, specifies a file name, and uses the data from the OpenAI/ChatGPT module. The target google file type is: application/vnd.google-apps.document Overall, this is working really well. My issue is that the Google Doc that is created is filled with Markdown formatting. Lots of # and \* everywhere, which doesn’t impact the overall core content, but does not actually look very nice to the human eye. So, when we review the docs, it’s a bit messy. Is there a way to get this Google Doc created on Google Drive, but in a way that uses more visual formatting (not Markdown)? This way it’s nicely formatted with proper headlines, etc. I was thinking maybe I have OpenAI/ChatGPT export the content in HTML, but wasn’t sure how to feed that into a Google Drive Upload a File module to actually interpret the HTML as proper formatting. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! ---

To do this, you can try using the Markdown “ **Markdown to HTML** ” module — > Transforms Markdown into HTML For more information about the Markdown to HTML module and Markdown app, see the corresponding [Integrations page](https://www.make.com/en/integrations/markdown) and the [Help Centre documentation](https://apps.make.com/markdown). Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues. — @samliew ---

I’m also working on something similar, the Markdown to HTML works, and you can also create a custom GPT assistant and connect it to your workflow with specific design/branding details. ---
