Background

Google Docs is a cloud-based document editor developed by Google, which is part of the Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) suite of productivity tools. It allows users to create, edit, and collaborate on documents online in real-time, without the need for desktop software.

Key Features of Google Docs:

  1. Cloud-Based Editing: Google Docs is accessible through a web browser, enabling users to create and edit documents from any device with an internet connection. Changes are automatically saved to the cloud, ensuring that users always have access to the latest version of their documents.
  2. Real-Time Collaboration: Google Docs facilitates real-time collaboration, allowing multiple users to work on the same document simultaneously. Users can see each other's edits in real-time, chat within the document, and leave comments for discussion.
  3. Document Templates: Google Docs offers a variety of pre-designed templates for common document types, such as resumes, letters, reports, and project proposals. These templates provide a starting point for users to create their own customized documents.
  4. Formatting Tools: Google Docs provides a range of formatting tools for styling text, paragraphs, and images within documents. Users can apply fonts, colors, and styles to enhance the appearance of their documents.
  5. Inserting Media: Users can insert images, links, drawings, and other media into Google Docs documents to enhance their content and visual appeal. Images can be uploaded from the user's device or inserted directly from Google Drive.
  6. Revision History: Google Docs keeps a detailed revision history of changes made to documents over time. Users can view previous versions of the document, revert to earlier versions if needed, and see who made specific changes.
  7. Integration with Google Services: Google Docs integrates seamlessly with other Google services, such as Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Calendar. Users can easily import data from other Google apps and export documents to various file formats, including Microsoft Word.
  8. Offline Access: Google Docs offers offline access through the Google Chrome browser and the Google Docs mobile app. Users can create and edit documents offline, and changes will be synced to the cloud once an internet connection is reestablished.

Common Use Cases for Google Docs:

  • Word Processing: Users use Google Docs for word processing tasks such as writing essays, drafting letters, creating reports, and composing articles.
  • Collaborative Writing: Teams collaborate on documents for various purposes, such as meeting agendas, project plans, brainstorming sessions, and shared documents.
  • Document Sharing: Users share documents with colleagues, clients, and collaborators for review, feedback, and collaboration.
  • Note-taking: Individuals use Google Docs for taking notes during meetings, lectures, and presentations, as well as for personal journaling and writing.
  • Remote Work and Education: Google Docs is widely used for remote work and education, allowing individuals and teams to work together on documents from anywhere with an internet connection.

Overall, Google Docs is a versatile and user-friendly document editor that offers powerful features for creating, editing, and collaborating on documents online. Its cloud-based nature, real-time collaboration capabilities, and integration with other Google services make it a popular choice for individuals and teams looking for a flexible and collaborative solution for document editing and sharing.

How to set up

Create a Google Doc and include variable names wrapped with double curly braces where you want Feathery to automatically populate it with user-submitted data.

Navigate to the Feathery form that you want to connect to Google Docs. Click on the Integrations tab.

Open the Google Docs integration and choose the Feathery form event to trigger the Google Docs action. Your options are when someone completes the form, reaches a specific step of the form, or whenever data is received from your end user (partial submissions, data enrichment, etc.)

Authorize and connect your Google account.

Choose the Google Doc you created in step 1, and map your Feathery fields to the relevant variables in your document.

Click Connect. Your integration is now live and ready to go!

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the

"When inside of" nested selector

system.
