Hi Community,
I want to connect a website form to google doc. I want when someone submit a form, it should create a document based on my template document.
Here is template document, I’ve connect to document but I’m confuse how I should add placeholder to my template, that will be replaced when someone will submit a form.
I’m using textarea field in my form. I’ve tried to add {{Textarea 1}} in form where I need data.
Please can someone help me to sort out this.
Thanks

Hi there
I’m jumping in to see if I can help!
You'll want to remove the formatting on each template field that is causing issues. Please note, this process will also remove any other formatting for the highlighted text. Here's the process to follow:

If that still doesn't resolve the issue, can you please try to delete and retype the text around each template field along with each template field itself?
Hopefully, this helps!

Hi
I can’t see this option in my zap where I can match fields. I’ve forminator form on my website, I use webhook to catch data then move to Google doc.
+14Try removing special characters like ? and ,
+14Try completely removing the {{Variable}} then adding it back.
Then click the [Refresh Fields] button in the Zap step config.
I did same but still it is not working. even there is one simple field without any special charater (i.e , or ?) but still not getting result for this field.
Did you check format of my template doc? Is that ok to use for Zap?
+14Try completely removing the {{Variable}} then adding it back.
It can take some trial and error to get the variable to appear in the Zap step.
Hi
Actually I was using search a document step in my zap and that did not allow me to add a value for each field. as shown in screenshot.
