How It Works​

The Add Footer node integrates with Google Docs to add a footer to a document. When executed, the node:

  1. Validates the provided inputs (Document Id, Text, Font Size, Font Name)
  2. Connects to the specified Google Docs document
  3. Optionally deletes any existing footer if Overwrite If Exists is enabled
  4. Creates a new footer section in the document
  5. Inserts the specified text into the footer
  6. Applies the specified formatting options (font, size, alignment, styling)

Requirements​

  • A valid Google Docs document ID
  • Valid Google Docs credentials
  • Text content for the footer
  • Valid font size value
  • Valid Google Docs permissions to modify the document

Error Handling​

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

  • Empty or invalid Document Id
  • Empty or invalid Text content
  • Empty or invalid Font Size
  • Google Docs service errors
  • Insufficient permissions to modify the document

Usage Notes​

  • The Document Id can be found in the URL of the Google Docs document
  • If Overwrite If Exists is disabled and a footer already exists, the node may fail
  • The Font Name should be a valid Google Docs font family
  • The Align option controls how the footer text is positioned within the footer
  • Styling options (Bold, Italic, Underline) can be combined
  • The footer will be added to the bottom of each page in the document
