IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Google Docs account once, then configure and run Apply Bullets from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "google_docs-apply-bullets",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    google_docs: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    documentId: "Document ID",
    find: "Find Text",
  },
})

console.log(result)

SCHEMA

Inputs

Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.

Apply Bullets inputs
Property Type Description
documentId Document ID string
The ID of the Google Doc. This is the long string in the document's URL: https://docs.google.com/document/d/{DOCUMENT_ID}/edit. Use Find Document to resolve a document's name to its ID.
Required
find Find Text string
The text to style. The action locates it in the document and styles each match selected by Occurrence. Leave blank only if you are supplying Start Index and End Index instead.
Optional
occurrence Occurrence string
Which matches of Find Text to style: first (default) or all.
Optional
matchCase Match Case boolean
Case sensitive search (true) or not (false). Defaults to false
Optional
startIndex Start Index integer
Character index to style from, inclusive. Use with End Index instead of Find Text. Indices come from Get Document and shift after every edit, so prefer Find Text.
Optional
endIndex End Index integer
Character index to style up to, exclusive. Must be greater than Start Index.
Optional
tabId Tab ID string
For a multi-tab document, restrict the operation to this tab (e.g. t.0). Get tab IDs from List Tabs. Omit to search every tab for Find Text; an explicit Start Index / End Index without a Tab ID applies to the first tab only.
Optional
bulletPreset Bullet Preset string
The glyph sequence to use. BULLET_* presets are unordered lists, NUMBERED_* presets are ordered lists.
Optional
