Google Docs node missing “Document Content” field in Create Document operation

[miguelautomatialab]

Hi team,

I’m using the Google Docs node in n8n and trying to create a document that includes both a *
title and content**. However, when I select:

• Resource: Document
• Operation: Create

I can only see the Title field. The expected Document Content field is missing entirely, even though documentation and tutorials suggest it should be available.

Steps I’ve taken:

• Tried refreshing the node and UI
• Switched browser and language
• Removed and re-added the node
• Confirmed I’m using the latest version of n8n

I’m using this node to generate AI scripts and want to store the full text in Google Docs automatically, but currently, I can only set the document title.

Can someone confirm:

• Is this a known bug?
• Is there a workaround to enable the Document Content field?

Thanks in advance!

Instead of the Google Docs node, you can do it through the Google Drive node. There’s an option called “Create file from text” in the node where you can input a title and the file content. Be sure to “Add option” and select “Convert to Google Document” in order to create it as a Google Doc.

Let me know if you need help setting up the API because you have to enable Google Docs API and connect Oauth credentials.

Thank you very much! I’m going to use that solution.

I solved it!

Using a module that creates the document and then updates it with the same document ID.
