RuntimeError - Either values or image URLs are missing! - Google Docs

Hi. I am new here. Struggled coming right with Zapier so giving Make a go.

I am trying to ‘create a document from a template’ (Google Doc) triggered by a new row in a Google Spreadsheet. It is just the first step but I cannot seem to get it working. It keeps giving me a ‘RuntimeError - Either values or image URLs are missing!’

I have checked my connection with Google Docs and it is fine. I choose the template doc from a drop down menu and then it give blue blocks saying ‘Selected document does not have any tag’ and ‘Selected document does not have any image’. For the new document name I first tried adding a name and then dropping of of the spreadsheet titles but that didn’t work. So I deleted the custom name but still no result.

I am sure it is just something simple but I cannot seem to solve it. I would appreciate if someone could possible give me some advice!

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

Here is the requested link:

You’ll need to actually insert placeholders (tags) in the document first, so that Make knows where to insert your values.

E.g.:

{{variable1}}
