How to I get the URL of a Google Docs document so I can send it to a Telegram bot?

[DupervalAI]

Hi,

I have a simple use case. I made a copy of a Google Docs template using the Google Drive option.

I’m using the “Update” function and “Search and Replace” to update the placeholders within the document. W

when that’s done, I want to send the URL to a Telegram bot, but I can’t figure out how to find that URL.

When I use the Google Drive share node, it does not give me a URL in the output.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

L

Are you using Google Docs node to search and update the file?
Can you share your workflow?

You can apply this flow to your scenario:

1. Use the Google Drive node with Copy or Update operations.
2. Expand the Options section and disable “Simplify Output.”
3. The node will return fields such as webViewLink or webContentLink in its output.
4. Connect this value directly to your Telegram node (Send Message) to send the link to the bot.

Hey @DupervalAI

I have created the workflow similar to your scenario…

Try adding as much explanation I can, feel to free to have a look at this…

Hope I am making everything clear.

Thank you for the responses.

@Erick_Torres I couldn’t figure out where the “Simplify Output” was.

I ended up using @Sudhanshu_Sharma’s answer. I just needed to write out the URL manually and include the document ID and it gave me the result I wanted.

Thanks dto all of you,

L

P.S. I just realized that I’d written the answer days ago and never pressed send…
