Hi Zapier Community,
I'm generating certificates using Google Docs + Google Sheets with the "Create Document from Template" action in Zapier. I'm inserting an HTML table (with <table><tr><td>...</td></tr></table>
) into a merge tag field like {{COURSE}}
.
However, in the final document, instead of rendering the table properly, the HTML is printed as plain text. I’ve already tried:
-
Making sure the placeholder is in plain body text, not inside a table or styled header
-
Mapping the HTML string from Google Sheets into the
{{COURSE}}
field -
Watching for the "Insert data as HTML" checkbox (but it never shows)
Has anyone successfully forced Zapier to treat a mapped field as HTML and render it in Google Docs?
Would love to know:
-
If there’s a workaround to enable HTML rendering even without the checkbox
-
If it still works behind the scenes if all conditions are met
-
Or if this feature has been deprecated/limited in recent updates
Thanks in advance!
