Creating a table in Google Doc Writer

I’m automating a workflow, and trying to get the output to match a template that we have in google sheet. I got this 95% of the way there, but in our template design we have a table in the google document.

In the AI instructions, I provided the tempalte in mark down and it perfectly matched this, I then have the markdown return as the input to create the google doc. However, I can’t seem to find a way to create tables reliably with markdown. Anyone have suggestions?

Hey @zdorsch - Currently, it won’t be possible to create a table directly with the Google Doc Writer node.

The Google Doc API requires specific JSON requests to create a table that we currently don’t have support for.

A workaround here would be create a custom node that can write to Google Docs using your own API.

I’ll explore this approach! Thanks for the insights. :raised_hands:

I am not sure if you can create the table in the google sheets and insert in the doc?
