Google Docs ACTION
Insert Page Break
Insert a page break into a Google Doc at the beginning, end, or a specific character index. Use Find Document to resolve a document's name to its ID. In a multi-tab document, set Tab ID to choose which tab receives the page break — without it the break goes into the document's first tab; use List Tabs to get the IDs. See the documentation

IMPLEMENTATION
Call this tool
Connect a user's Google Docs account once, then configure and run Insert Page Break 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-insert-page-break",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
google_docs: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
documentId: "Document ID",
position: "Position",
},
})
console.log(result)curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/actions/run \

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(

)
const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
name: "google_docs-insert-page-break",
arguments: {
documentId: "Document ID",
position: "Position",
},

Inputs
Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.
| 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 |
position Position | string | Where to insert the content: end to append to the end of the document (default), beginning to insert at the start, or a numeric character index (e.g., 1) for a specific location. Optional |
tabId Tab ID | string | For a multi-tab document, the ID of the tab to write into (e.g. t.0). Get tab IDs from List Tabs, or use the ID returned by Create Tab. Omit to write into the document's first tab — the Google Docs API sends every untargeted edit there, so pass this whenever the document has more than one tab. Optional |
REFERENCE
Tool details
Behavior hints are published with the component in the Pipedream registry and surface as MCP tool annotations, so an agent can reason about a tool before it calls it.
