Here’s the big Google/On2Air/Airtable update you’ve been waiting for!
We now have multiple Google Functions in On2Air Actions to bring Airtable & Google Docs together at last!
With the functions, you can now automatically create new or templated files in Google Docs, Google Slides, and Google Sheets using your Airtable data!!
PLUS, if needed, you can create custom, dynamic tables inside Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides. A table will be generated each time based on the exact size needed to fit your Airtable data.
Here are the big updates:
You can automatically create files in Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Google Slides using the data you have stored in your Airtable records with our new Google Functions.
2. You can now generate custom templates and tables in your documents that expand with your data in Airtable. The table is dynamically generated based on the exact size you need to fit your data. (See our Google Table Template Guide)
3. You can create new folders in Drive and store the URL of the folder or the file in an Airtable field.
4. You can send entire Airtable tables to a table in Google Sheets with our Google Table Sync Function.
5. Generate any file into a PDF, Image, Word document, Excel file, or PowerPoint file, then save it back into an Attachment field in Airtable. (This allows you to replace alternatives such as Page Designer, Formstack, Docupilot, and more!)
When you combine these new Google Functions with our On2Air: Amplify app, your new file (the actual Doc, Sheet, or Slide) will be automatically displayed inside your Airtable base for editing and viewing.

With the scheduler, you no longer have to rely on Zapier or other service to process your Function on a pre-set schedule.
