Migrating Data to create a Google Doc

[daniel3]

Hi, I am using the Google Docs Embed plugin for my SAAS app and am looking for a better way to create a google doc. Here is the overview:
My clients can use my app to compile proposal content for easier proposal generation. My goal is to send data from my bubble database to create documents from templates in Google Docs. I have managed this by using Zapier to create the Google Doc with data from bubble. I then have to manually setup the Google Doc Embed plugin to display/edit that documentID. The problem is that I don’t have a great way to automatically save the google doc ID in my bubble database so that I can easily recall the google doc created from that database item.

I also am trying to figure out how to send images to google docs, not just text. Zapier seems pretty limited and I’d like to find a better option. It looks like zeroqode has built a tool to create a Google Sheet, but not a Google Doc. If something like this existed for Google docs, I think it would solve both of my problems.

Is there any possibility of future development of a plugin to create Docs and not just sheets? if not, does anyone have any ideas on how best to accomplish these two things?

Hi @daniel3, thanks for reaching out and for your questions.

The problem is that I don’t have a great way to automatically save the google doc ID in my bubble database so that I can easily recall the google doc created from that database item.

A solution might be to use one of the plugins that allow working with Google Drive, retrieving files information:

• Google Drive: Google Drive plugin for Bubble | Zeroqode
• Google Drive API: Google Drive API Plugin for Bubble | Zeroqode

Thanks for your suggestion, I’ve added it to the list of ideas to be considered by the developer team. They will check how feasible would be to develop such a plugin.

Currently, as I see, there is one plugin that can work with Google Docs, BUT! please note that I can not guarantee that it will work as required for your case. at least, it is worth checking.

Hope these answers help. If there is anything else that I can help with about our plugins, please let me know.
