Google Docs Get

 

Use this activity to get the data from a document. The data is formatted according to the mime type selected. This activity corresponds to an export function in Google Docs.

Configuration

The Configuration tab has the following fields that identify which Google Docs connection to use.

Field Description
Connection

Google connection name. If you have created multiple Google connections, select the one you want to use in this flow.

Metadata Only

Select if you only want the file metadata and not its contents.

Mime Type

Select the file format in which you want to export the file. If the file format specified is incompatible with the information to be exported, Google Docs exports the file in the MIME type specified.

Input

This tab has the following fields:

Field Description
fileId

The file ID of the file to get. In the absence of a file ID, specify the file name. However, be mindful of duplicate name hazards when using file names.

fileName If the file ID is available instead of the file name, map the file ID here with as much of the parent folder structure as is known to enable the connector to locate the file ID.
Note: As multiple files can have the same name in Google Docs workspace, provide parent folder information such as "parentroot/parent/filename".
mimeType Overrides the MIME type selected in the configuration panel.

Output

The Output tab displays the fields that correspond to the metadata for the new document.
