Line items in Google Docs

:thinking: What is the problem & what have you tried?

Is there any way for Make to create multiple line items in a Google Docs document? Make gave us the ability to create line items for Microsoft Word documents, but it doesn’t seem like they gave us this ability for Google Docs documents.

Hey @ScottWorld !

No, Google Docs in Make does not support repeating line items the way Microsoft Word does.

The Google Docs module works with plain text replacement only, so it cannot dynamically repeat sections or create line item blocks.

Hey Scott,

you can prepare the text block in advance and then replace the tag with the whole block. Are you building a table? Those can also be done via an API call.

Hi @Stoyan_Vatov!

Thanks! Yes, actually — a table would be ideal, because I’m trying to create line items on an invoice.

Could you tell me about this API call which would enable me to build a table?

Thank you!
Scott
