Example use cases

Automated report generation An agent retrieves data from a source, then uses GOOGLEDOCS_CREATE_DOCUMENT_MARKDOWN to generate a formatted report document with headings, tables, and bullet points, ready to share with stakeholders. Document template population An agent copies a template document using GOOGLEDOCS_COPY_DOCUMENT, then uses GOOGLEDOCS_REPLACE_ALL_TEXT to swap placeholder tokens with real values such as client name, date, and project details. Content search and update workflow An agent uses GOOGLEDOCS_SEARCH_DOCUMENTS to find all documents matching a keyword, then applies GOOGLEDOCS_UPDATE_DOCUMENT_MARKDOWN to update their content or GOOGLEDOCS_INSERT_TEXT_ACTION to append new information to each one.
