Does anyone know an integration that will pull a Word Count from a linked Google Doc? For background, we create a record for each post in an editorial calendar. We have a field linking the Google Doc where the document lives and we’d like to add a field that shows the Word Count from the Google Doc. I’d love a way to pull that automatically rather than having to enter it by hand. Thoughts?
Pull word count from Google Doc

One way that you could do this would be to automate the process by using a REST API that supports word counting, such as this one:
It looks like you would need to send the document to this API as a .docx file, and then the API will return the word count.
This entire process could be completely automated with Integromat, which is a no-code/low-code automation tool.
p.s. If you have a budget for this project and you’d like to hire an expert Airtable consultant & Registered Integromat Partner to help you automate this, please feel free to contact me through my website at ScottWorld.com.
