How It Works

This node adds new content to the very end of your Google Docs document, preserving all existing content. The new text appears after whatever content is already in the document.

​
Markdown Support

When enabled (default), Markdown formatting is converted to Google Docs rich text:
  • Bold text: **bold** becomes bold
  • Italic text: *italic* becomes italic
  • Headers: # Header becomes formatted heading
  • Lists: - Item becomes bulleted lists
  • Links: [text](url) becomes clickable links
Perfect for AI-generated content: AI nodes like Ask AI and AI Analyze Data often return Markdown-formatted text that’s ready to use directly in Google Docs. When disabled, text appears exactly as written without formatting conversion.

​
Page Break Options

Insert Page Break Before Text:
  • On: Adds a page break, then your new content (starts on new page)
  • Off: Continues directly after existing content (same page)

​
Configuration Examples

​
Weekly Summary with Separation

Scenario: Add weekly summary with clear separation from previous weeks Configuration:
  • Text Content: ”## Week of [Date]\n\n[Summary content]”
  • Convert Markdown: On (creates formatted header)
  • Insert Page Break: On (each week starts new page)
Result: Weekly summaries clearly separated by page breaks.

​
AI-Generated Content Integration

Scenario: Add AI analysis directly to a report document Configuration:
  • Document URL/ID: Your analysis report document
  • Text Content: Connect from Ask AI or AI Analyze Data node
  • Convert Markdown: On (AI content is usually Markdown-formatted)

Result: AI-generated insights with proper formatting automatically added.

FAQ

No, Append Text only adds content to the end of your document. All existing content remains unchanged and in its original position. The new content appears after everything that’s already there.
With Markdown on (recommended), formatting like **bold** becomes actual bold text, # Header becomes a formatted heading, etc. With Markdown off, you get exactly what you type - **bold** stays as **bold** without formatting.
Use page breaks for major sections like weekly reports, monthly summaries, or distinct topics. Skip page breaks for continuous content like daily data that should flow together. Page breaks help organize long documents and make them easier to navigate.
Yes! That’s the main purpose of this node. Each time it runs, new content is added to the end. Perfect for building reports over time, daily summaries, or accumulating data from multiple workflow runs.
AI nodes often return Markdown-formatted content that’s perfect for Google Docs. Simply connect the AI node’s output to the Text Content field and keep “Convert Markdown” turned on. The AI’s formatting (headers, bold text, lists) will automatically convert to proper Google Docs styling.
Connect data from previous nodes and use Markdown formatting in your text. For example: **Clicks:** [click_data] where [click_data] comes from a Google Ads node. The Markdown will format it nicely when converted.
Google Docs handles long documents well, but consider using page breaks to organize content. For extremely long documents, you might want to create separate documents monthly or quarterly to keep things manageable.
Yes, if your markdown includes image links (e.g., ![Alt text](image_url)), those images will be added to the document. You can use the syntax below to include images:
![Image Description](https://example.com/image.png)
You just need to ensure the image URLs are accessible and properly formatted in Markdown.
Yes, you can add links using Markdown syntax:
[Link Text](https://example.com)
This will create a clickable link in the appended text. Just make sure to format it correctly in the Text Content field.
The text uses Google Docs default formatting plus any Markdown conversion you enable. It doesn’t automatically inherit styles from the existing document. For consistent formatting, use Markdown or format the document manually after appending.If you want specific styles, consider using Replace Text node instead, which allows you to replace existing text with new content while applying specific styles.
