Insert formatted text in Google Docs (with Markdown?) and tabs?

apps · Saturday at 9:59 PM

Hi,
I am trying to make a training document creator using Pabbly Connect and I would like to insert these documents using formatting because I'm creating training material. Google Docs has gotten marked down support in 2024. But I noticed when I insert text and markdown format it is not formatted in Google Docs when inserted using Pabbly Connect. How can I make Pabbly Connect insert correctly so that the markdown formatting actually shows up in Google Docs. I have enabled support for markdown in the document preferences

Also, I would like to create and edit tabs in the Google document. And I can see there is support for it in the Google API as far as I understand. But it doesn't seem to be possible to edit or create new tabs using Pabbly Connect's Google docs integration. How can I solve this and could you add this?

Check this screenshot. You can see that it's not quite useable like this:

Hi @apps,

Google Docs action step supports Basic Inline HTML. If you want to add formatted data to your Google Docs, you can pass the data in Basic Inline HTML format and see if that fixes your formatting issue.

Currently, we don't have any action events in Google Docs that allow you to edit or create new tabs in your Google Doc. If you want these action events added to Pabbly Connect, you can submit your request on our dedicated platform.

Hi @ArshilAhmad ,
Thanks for the answer. But I don't see it support HTML either. I inserted a Markdown to HTML action and appended the the html paragraphs but see the result please - no formatting:

    <p><strong>Example:</strong> Digital Marketer primarily uses Facebook advertising as their main channel to generate awareness.</p>

    <h3>Understanding Levels of Awareness</h3>
    <ol>
        <li><strong>Unaware:</strong>
            <ul>
                <li><strong>Description:</strong> Individuals who are unaware of both the problem and your product.</li>
                <li><strong>Example:</strong> People not realizing they need better posture solutions.</li>
            </ul>
        </li>

            <ul>
                <li><strong>Description:</strong> Individuals who recognize they have a problem but are unaware of solutions.</li>
                <li><strong>Example:</strong> Someone with back pain but unsure of how to alleviate it.</li>
            </ul>
        </li>
        <li><strong>Solution Aware:</strong>
            <ul>
                <li><strong>Description:</strong> Individuals who know there are solutions but have not decided on the right one.</li>
                <li><strong>Example:</strong> Someone searching for the best chair for back pain relief.</li>
            </ul>
        </li>
        <li><strong>Product Aware:</strong>
            <ul>
                <li><strong>Description:</strong> Individuals who know about your product and are considering it as a solution.</li>

            </ul>
        </li>
    </ol>

    <h3>Selecting the Right Channel for Your Initial Launch</h3>
    <p><strong>Criteria:</strong> Choose a channel that aligns with your target audience’s level of awareness and can be easily adjusted during testing phases.</p>

            <ul>

                <li><strong>Example:</strong> Use content marketing for problem-aware audiences to educate them on their pain points and bridge to solutions.</li>
            </ul>
        </li>

            <ul>
                <li><strong>Task:</strong> Conduct a controlled and manageable launch to test the effectiveness of your chosen channel.</li>

        </li>
    </ol>

    <p>Through this lesson, you have begun architecting the awareness stage of your value journey by understanding various awareness levels and aligning them with appropriate channels for your product. The initial focus should be on selecting a manageable channel that reflects the awareness level of your audience, paving the way for effective engagement in subsequent stages.</p>
