Newbie question: Get content of a new Google Doc

[Jan_Gess]

Hey all,

I’m new trying out Make.

I want to get content of a Google Doc, anytime a new Google Doc is created in a specific folder.

However, Make asks for a specific file when setting up the scenario, which I don’t have before the file is created.

How do I do that?

Hey @Jan_Gess

You can use this module to retrieve documents from your Google Docs.

Yes, that is the starting point of my scenario, but that module doesn’t seem to allow me to copy the body from a newly added document.

but that module doesn’t seem to allow me to copy the body from a newly added document.

Then you just got to chain “Watch Documents” immediately with a “Get Content of a Document” module.

In this module, select “By Mapping”, and insert the Document ID from the Watch module.
