Template → Duplicate Google Doc
AI-generatedOverview
This node operation duplicates a Google Doc template associated with a specified automation in DocsAutomator. It is useful for users who want to create a copy of an existing Google Doc template to modify or reuse without altering the original. For example, a user can select an automation and duplicate its Google Doc template, optionally providing a new name for the duplicated template.
Use Case Examples
- Duplicating a Google Doc template from an automation to create a new version with a different name.
- Automating the process of copying templates for different projects or clients while preserving the original template.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Automation Name or ID | Select the automation whose Google Doc template you want to duplicate. You can choose from a list or specify an ID using an expression. |
| New Template Name | Optional name for the duplicated template. If not provided, the duplicated template will use the automation's title as its name. |
Output
JSON
id- The ID of the duplicated Google Doc template.name- The name of the duplicated Google Doc template.automationId- The ID of the automation associated with the duplicated template.
Dependencies
- DocsAutomator API authentication token
Troubleshooting
- Ensure the automation ID is selected or provided; otherwise, the node will throw an error asking to select an automation.
- If the DocsAutomator API credentials are invalid or missing, the node will fail to authenticate and perform the duplication.
- If the new template name is not provided, the duplicated template will default to the automation's title, which might cause confusion if multiple duplicates exist without distinct names.
