[No Programming Required] How to Automatically Write and Transfer Data to Google Docs

m.i

"Manually creating the same documents every time" and "It's challenging to compile form content into a document" are issues that many people might be experiencing. The task of transcribing into Google Docs is time-consuming, prone to errors, and affects work efficiency.

However, when trying to automate by integrating with external tools, you might feel, "It seems difficult without knowledge..." or "We might need an engineer."

This is where we recommend utilizing the no-code tool, Yoom.
With Yoom, you can easily set up data integration with Google Docs without any specialized knowledge.

For example, by automatically writing responses collected from Google Forms into Google Docs, you can significantly reduce the effort of document creation.
<span class="mark-yellow">The major advantage is that you can efficiently proceed with daily tasks while preventing transcription errors.</span>

In this article, we will introduce methods to automate by combining Google Docs with other apps.
We will particularly focus on the flow of "adding Google Form responses to Google Docs" and explain it clearly.

Automation seems to help prevent the personalization of tasks.

Automatically Send and Forward Schedule Tool Data to Google Docs

When an event is created, a new Google Doc is generated, making it convenient for creating minutes or notes for each event.

Let's Create a Flow to Automatically Write and Transfer Data to Google Docs

Now, let's create a flow to automatically write and transfer data to Google Docs!
This time, we will proceed with the settings using Yoom without any coding. If you don't have a Yoom account yet, please issue an account fromthis registration form.

[What is Yoom]

<span class="mark-yellow">This time, we will create a flow bot that adds responses from Google Forms to Google Docs!</span>

The creation process is broadly divided into the following steps.

  • Integrate Google Forms and Google Docs with My Apps
  • Copy the template
  • Set triggers for Google Forms and actions for Google Docs
  • Turn on the trigger and complete the preparation for flow operation

Step 1: Connect My App

Connecting your app first will make the subsequent settings proceed smoothly.

First, let's connect your current Google Forms with Yoom! From the left side of the Yoom page, select My Apps → Add.


Search for Google Forms and sign in.
Then, you will see this screen, and if there are no issues, click Continue.

Next, connect with Google Docs.

Similarly, from the left side of the Yoom page, select My Apps → Add.
As before, an access permission screen will appear, so check it and click Continue.

Once the connection with Google Forms and Google Docs is completed and displayed in My Apps, it's OK.

Step 2: Copy the Template

From here, we will create the flow.
Open the template page and click 'Try this template'.

As you proceed, the template will be automatically copied to your workspace, and the following screen will be displayed.

Select OK and proceed to the next step.
The template is saved in My Projects, and you can change the template name if necessary.

Click on My Projects on the left to display the template you just copied.
Click on the ellipsis (...) on the right and select Edit.

Items to Prepare

  • A test form like the one below. Add response items as needed.

Set it to obtain the respondent's email address.

Step 3: Set Google Form Trigger

Now, let's set up the app trigger. Select "When a response is submitted to the form".

Check the account information to be linked and proceed to the next step.
Enter the required fields.

  • Trigger Interval: The shortest interval for setting triggers varies depending on your plan, so be sure to check that. It is generally recommended to use the shortest trigger interval for that plan.

Here, provide a sample response to the Google Form as follows.

Return to Flowbot and test.

If the integration is successful, the schedule information will be displayed in the retrieved value at the bottom of the screen.
By quoting these values during the subsequent action settings, you can achieve data integration between Google Forms and Google Docs!
About Retrieved value | Yoom Help Center

Google Forms uses JSONPath to retrieve responses. Click "Add value to retrieve".

Help to retrieve responses. Once retrieval is complete, click Add and select Save.

Step 4: Set to Write to Google Docs

Next, to set up writing Google Form responses to Google Docs, click "Append Text to End".

As before, check the linked account information and proceed to the next step. Set the required fields.

  • Document ID: From the displayed options, select the Google Doc you want to write to.
  • Text to Add: Use the output as shown below.

*Items selected from the retrieved value are displayed as in the image below.

This indicates that the value is being quoted, allowing you to use the values obtained by the trigger as is.
If you manually enter items like email addresses, they will be transcribed each time, so be sure to select items obtained from the trigger from the retrieved value.

Once the setup is complete, test and save.
*Please note that testing will write to Google Docs.

Check Google Docs.

The Google Form response content has been successfully written.

Step 5: Turn ON the Trigger to Complete Setup

When the following image is displayed, turn on the trigger.
With this, all settings are complete, so let's check if the Google Form response content is added to Google Docs.

This was the method to "Add Google Form Responses to Google Docs".

I have gained approximately three years of experience in the financial sector since graduating. Due to the nature of the industry, there were many manual tasks, and I often thought that automating them would allow us to focus on other work. It was during this time that I discovered Yoom. As I write blogs, I am continually impressed by the convenience of Yoom. I strive to maintain a clear and understandable structure.
