I need to convert markdown text from Airtable into rich text in Google Docs. I’m uncertain about which module to use for this task. Currently, I’m using a module to convert Markdown to HTML for sending emails and creating a Google Doc. While the emails turn out well, the Google Docs do not. Thank you for your assistance.
The Google Docs “Content” parameter supports HTML format.
Could you show screenshots of your setup?
To allow others to assist you with your scenario, please provide the following:
Relevant Screenshots
Please share screenshots of your scenario, any error messages, relevant module fields, and relevant filter settings. It would really help other community members to see what you’re looking at.
You can upload images here using the Upload icon in the text editor:
Scenario Blueprint
Please export the scenario blueprint file to allow others to view the mapped variables in the module fields. At the bottom of the scenario editor, you can click on the three dots to find the Export Blueprint menu item.
Output Bundles of Modules
Please provide the output bundles of the modules by running the scenario (or get from the scenario History tab), then click the white speech bubble on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.
A. Upload as Text File
Save each bundle contents in your text editor as a bundle.txt file, and upload it here into this discussion thread.
B. Insert as Formatted Code Block
If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles.
These are the two ways to format text so that it won’t be modified by the forum:
-
Method 1: Type code block manually
Add three backticks
```before and after the content/bundle, like this:```
content goes here
``` -
Method 2. Highlight and click the format button in the editor
Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario even if they do not use the external service.
By providing these details, it will allow others to assist you better.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate, here is the blue print
blueprint.json (499.5 KB)
The text is inserted inside a Google Docs template that already has a title, introduction, footer, etc. the field to replace with a rich text is : {{Report}}
Unfortunately, you cannot insert HTML content into an existing template.
You will have to recreate the entire document in HTML format, mapping the variables in those placeholders, and then using the “Create a Document”, NOT “Create a Document from a Template” module.
Try using the Google Docs “Create a Document” module:
Creates a new Google document by adding the content of HTML format.

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