Hello Zapier Community,

I’m working on a Zap to automate the creation of a Google Docs document from Plaud.AI summaries and transcripts, but I’m struggling with formatting issues and could use some expert advice.

 

In the following, you can see how my document looks like, how I want it to look like and how it is looking in the background in Zapier.

 

Please help me, I would mean a lot. 

 

 

Hi ​@Steven0age 

Plaud.AI is returning the data formatted as Markdown.

Try adding this Zap step: Formatter > Text > Convert Markdown to HTML

Or you can add another AI step to convert the Markdown to HTML, which GDoc expects.

 

Even though I put this Zap Step in: ormatter > Text > Convert Markdown to HTML - it still does not work.

 

What else could I try?

Try this suggestion:

Hi ​@Steven0age 👋

Were you able to get this sorted by using an AI action instead of that Formatter one? 

If not, it looks like the Formatter action didn’t have anything mapped into the Input field:

So it won’t have been converting any Markdown into HTML.

Also, the Google Drive action has the Summary and Transcript mapped from the trigger, so even if the Formatter action was converting the Markdown into HTML, it wouldn’t have used it. It would have only used the original Markdown version:

Hope that helps. Keep us posted on how you’re getting on, want to make sure this gets sorted! 🙂

Thank you, guys. I solved it now, you are amazing

Yay! So glad to hear it’s sorted now ​@Steven0age! 🎉

Out of curiosity, was it an AI action that fixed things, or did you manage to get the Markdown to HTML conversion working with Formatter?
