Step 2: Connect Google Docs

Create the document and set up the append action that will build the long-form content.

1. Add Generate Document File and set Title to ={{ $('Form Submission Trigger').item.json.Title }}.
2. Set Folder ID to default.
3. Credential Required: Connect your googleDocsOAuth2Api credentials in Generate Document File.
4. Add Append to Document with Operation set to update.
5. Set Document URL to ={{ $('Generate Document File').item.json.id }}.
6. In Append to Document, add an insert action with Text set to ={{$json.output + "\n\n"}}.
7. Credential Required: Connect your googleDocsOAuth2Api credentials in Append to Document.

Step 3: Set Up Outline Generation and Parsing

Generate a structured outline and parse the output into a consistent JSON schema.

1. Add Outline Strategy Agent and set Text to ={{ $('Form Submission Trigger').item.json.Title }}.
2. Enable Has Output Parser in Outline Strategy Agent.
3. Attach Structured Result Parser to Outline Strategy Agent as the output parser and keep the provided JSON schema example.
4. Connect Compact Chat Model to Outline Strategy Agent as the language model.
5. Credential Required: Connect your openAiApi credentials in Compact Chat Model.

Step 4: Prepare Section Batching and Memory

Extract the outline sections, expand them into items, and batch through them with memory for consistent writing.

1. Add Extract Section List and create a sections assignment set to ={{ $json.output.sections }}.
2. Add a documentId assignment set to ={{ Math.random().toString(36).substring(2, 10).toUpperCase() }}.
3. Connect Extract Section List → Expand Sections and set Field To Split Out to sections with Include set to allOtherFields.
4. Connect Expand Sections → Batch Through Sections to process one section at a time.
5. Add Context Memory Buffer and set Session Key to ={{ $('Extract Section List').item.json.documentId }}, Session ID Type to customKey, and Context Window Length to 30.

Step 5: Set Up Drafting and Document Appending

Write each section with AI and append it to the document, looping through batches.

1. Add Draft Section Writer and set Text to =Help write section: {{ $json.sections.sectionId }}. {{ $json.sections.sectionTitle }}.
2. In Draft Section Writer system message, keep the outline reference and word-count limiter expression {{Math.floor($('Form Submission Trigger').item.json['Word Count'] / $('Extract Section List').item.json.sections.length)}}.
3. Connect Primary Chat Model to Draft Section Writer as the language model.
4. Credential Required: Connect your openAiApi credentials in Primary Chat Model.
5. Connect Context Memory Buffer to Draft Section Writer as the AI memory.
6. Connect Draft Section Writer → Append to Document → Batch Through Sections to loop through all sections.

Step 6: Configure Completion Output and Parallel Execution

Show the user a completion page while the outline and writing pipeline runs.

1. Add Form Completion Page and set Operation to completion.
2. Set Completion Title to Generating your document… Please wait a few minutes, then access the link below.
3. Set Completion Message to =https://docs.google.com/document/d/{{ $('Generate Document File').item.json.id }}.
4. Ensure Generate Document File outputs to both Form Completion Page and Outline Strategy Agent in parallel.

Step 7: Test and Activate Your Workflow

Run a full test to verify document creation, section drafting, and user completion output.

1. Click Execute Workflow and submit the form in Form Submission Trigger with a sample title and word count.
2. Confirm Generate Document File creates a Google Doc with the expected title.
3. Verify that Form Completion Page shows the document link using the generated ID.
4. Check that Draft Section Writer produces section content and Append to Document inserts it into the doc.
5. When satisfied, toggle the workflow to Active for production use.
