What can you do with it?

Google Docs allows you to create and modify documents programmatically. You can create new documents with custom titles, insert text at specific positions, format content with bullets and styles, and structure documents with sections. This integration is perfect for document automation, report generation, and content creation workflows. Note that document sharing requires the Google Drive integration.

Notes

When modifying documents, the index position must be less than the end index of the referenced segment. Index positions start at 1 for the beginning of the document. Document sharing functionality requires the Google Drive integration - use the Google Drive slash command to share documents by file name. Bullet preset options include BULLET_DISC_CIRCLE for standard bullet formatting.
