  • How do I use ChatGPT to auto-translate new Google Docs into a specific folder and save translations in separate Google Docs?

Hi there,

Can you please help me with the following automation (if it’s possible):

  1. A new GDoc is added to a speific folder on GDrive.
  2. Its content automatically translated via ChatGPT.
  3. The translation is saved to a separate GDoc to the same folder.

It seems the problem is that I can't configure reading a GDoc file content in a GDrive folder. I followed the instructions from this topic, but I still can't retrieve the source text from the file. Something is went wrong.

 

 

There’s no source text in the output, so cannot send it to ChatGPT for translation.

 

If such automation is possible, could you please provide the detailed configuration for each step? I'm completely new to this.


Thank you in advance.

PS. Also inviting Zapier Expert - @Troy Tessalone 

Thanks to you, I got a great idea. I'm leaving a message to follow up on the issue, thank you.
