About this workflow template

This automation scenario allows you to connect IFTTT and Google Docs

It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated scripts using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.

IFTTT and Google Docs can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:

How it works?

When this trigger fires in IFTTT
