Google Docs integration
Google Docs is a cloud-based word processor with real-time collaboration, version history, and integration with other Google Workspace apps
Connect Google Docs to Xenition and work with it from chat, from an agent, or on a schedule — alongside every other app you have connected, in one workspace.
What you can do with Google Docs
Ask in plain language and Xenition calls the right one:
- Copy Google Document — Tool to create a copy of an existing Google Document. Use this to duplicate a document, for example, when using an existing document as a template. The copied document will have a default title (e.g., 'Copy of [original title]') if no new title is provided, and will be placed in the user's root Google Drive folder.
- Create and Populate Table in Google Doc — Creates a new table in a Google Document and populates its cells with provided text data in a single operation. Use this action when you need to insert a structured table with predefined content into a document. The action handles both table creation and cell population automatically, eliminating the need for separate operations.
- Create a document — Creates a new Google Docs document using the provided title as filename and inserts the initial text at the beginning if non-empty, returning the document's ID and metadata (excluding body content).
- Create blank document (Deprecated) — DEPRECATED: Use GOOGLEDOCS_CREATE_DOCUMENT instead. Tool to create a blank Google Docs document with a specified title. Use when you need to create a new, empty document.
- Create Document Markdown — Creates a new Google Docs document, optionally initializing it with a title and content provided as Markdown text.
- Create Footer — Tool to create a new footer in a Google Document. Use when you need to add a footer, optionally specifying its type and the section it applies to.
- Create Footnote — Tool to create a new footnote in a Google Document. Use this when you need to add a footnote at a specific location or at the end of the document body.
- Create Header — Tool to create a new header in a Google Document, optionally with text content. Use this tool when you need to add a header to a document. You can provide: - document_id: The ID of the document (required) - type: The header type (DEFAULT is the standard header) - text: Optional text content to add to the header - section_break_location: Optional location for section-specific headers
- Create Named Range — Tool to create a new named range in a Google Document. Use this to assign a name to a specific part of the document for easier reference or programmatic manipulation.
- Create Paragraph Bullets — Tool to add bullets to paragraphs within a specified range in a Google Document. Use when you need to format a list or a set of paragraphs as bullet points.
- Create Document Tab — Creates a new tab in a Google Docs document. Tabs allow you to organize document content into separate sections within a single document. Use this action when you need to add a new organizational tab to a document. When a tab is added at a specified index, all subsequent tabs' indexes are automatically incremented.
- Delete Content Range in Document — Tool to delete a range of content from a Google Document. Use when you need to remove a specific portion of text or other structural elements within a document. Note: Every segment (body, header, footer, footnote) in Google Docs ends with a final newline character that cannot be deleted. Ensure the endIndex does not include this trailing newline.
- Delete Footer — Tool to delete a footer from a Google Document. Use when you need to remove a footer from a specific section or the default footer.
- Delete Header — Deletes the header from the specified section or the default header if no section is specified. Use this tool to remove a header from a Google Document.
- Delete Named Range — Tool to delete a named range from a Google Document. Use when you need to remove a previously defined named range by its ID or name.
- Delete Paragraph Bullets — Tool to remove bullets from paragraphs within a specified range in a Google Document. Use when you need to clear bullet formatting from a section of a document.
- Delete Tab — Deletes a tab from a Google Document. This action is irreversible — the tab cannot be recovered once removed. Use when you need to remove a tab and all its child tabs from a document's tab structure.
- Delete Table Column — Tool to delete a column from a table in a Google Document. Use this tool when you need to remove a specific column from an existing table within a document.
- Delete Table Row — Tool to delete a row from a table in a Google Document. Use when you need to remove a specific row from an existing table.
- Export Google Doc as PDF — Tool to export a Google Docs file as PDF using the Google Drive API. Use when you need to generate a PDF version of a Google Docs document for download or distribution. Note: Google Drive enforces a 10MB limit on export content.
- Get document by id — Retrieves an existing Google Document by its ID; will error if the document is not found.
- Get Document End Index — Retrieves the end index and paragraph structure of a Google Document or specific segment. Use this action when you need to determine valid insertion points for text operations, especially before using insertText requests. The end index represents the maximum boundary of the document body or specified segment (header, footer, footnote, or tab).
- Get document plain text — Retrieve a Google Doc by ID and return a best-effort plain-text rendering. Converts document structure into plain text including paragraphs, lists, and tables without requiring clients to traverse complex Docs API JSON.
- Insert Image in Table Cell — Inserts an image from a given URI into a specific table cell in a Google Document. Use this action when you need to add an image to a particular cell within a table. The action identifies the target cell by table start index, row index, and column index, then inserts the image at the specified position within that cell's content.
- Insert Inline Image — Tool to insert an image from a given URI at a specified location in a Google Document as an inline image. Use when you need to add an image to a document programmatically.
- Insert Page Break — Tool to insert a page break into a Google Document. Use when you need to start new content on a fresh page, such as at the end of a chapter or section.
- Insert Table in Google Doc — Tool to insert a table into a Google Document. Use when you need to add a new table at a specific location or at the end of a segment (like document body, header, or footer) in a document.
- Insert Table Column — Tool to insert a new column into a table in a Google Document. Use this tool when you need to add a column to an existing table at a specific location.
- Insert Table Row — Inserts a new row into a table in a Google Document at a specified location. Use this action when you need to add a row to an existing table, either above or below a reference cell location.
- Insert Text into Document — Tool to insert a string of text at a specified location within a Google Document. Use when you need to add new text content to an existing document. IMPORTANT: Two ways to specify insertion location: 1. Use 'insertion_index' to insert at a specific position (index 1 is safe for document start) 2. Use 'append_to_end=true' to append text to the end of the document (recommended for appending) CRITICA

Give an agent access to Google Docs
An agent you create can use Google Docs on your behalf and keep working while you do something else. Every action an agent takes goes through an approval gate first, so nothing touches your Google Docs account without you agreeing to it.
