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)
  • Insert Page Break: Off (continuous analysis)

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

Formatted Marketing Report

Scenario: Add formatted performance data with styling

Configuration:

  • Text Content:
## Campaign Performance - [Date]

**Key Metrics:**
- Clicks: [Click count]
- Impressions: [Impression count]  
- Cost: $[Total cost]

**Top Performing Campaigns:**
1. [Campaign 1] - [Performance]
2. [Campaign 2] - [Performance]
  • Convert Markdown: On
  • Insert Page Break: On

Result: Professionally formatted report section added.
