Integrating Google Docs API with Salesforce

Other Questions Google docs
1

I have a specific and somewhat complex scenario. I want to utilize a document from Google Docs as a template for creating documents or PDFs with data from Salesforce. This template will contain regular expressions to indicate merge fields, as well as tables and page breaks, among other elements.

My question is, how can I implement this template in Salesforce, specifically parsing it using Apex to handle tables and columns? I’m not looking for complete code but rather guidance on how to approach this.

Additionally, would it be feasible to use the Google Document Service within Salesforce for this purpose?

maybe consider using google’s Drive API to fetch the document, then parse it with Apex by using regex patterns to identify placeholders. Once extracted, you could replace those with Salesforce data. using the Drive API can enable document attachment and retrieval in Salesforce too. worth trying! :wink:
