08Notes & Limitations

Behaviours and constraints worth knowing before you build with these nodes.

• The Google connection here is shared with Google Drive, so a single OAuth credential (GOOGLE_DRIVE) authorises every Docs action and one authorisation covers both.
• Every action identifies a document by its Document ID — the identifier string taken from the document's URL — not the full shareable link you copy from the browser.
• Replace Text acts across the whole document and swaps every matching occurrence at once, so prefer distinctive placeholder tokens (for example {{customer_name}}) to avoid unintended matches.
• Replace Text ignores letter case unless Match Case is enabled, meaning "Draft" and "draft" are both replaced by default.
• Insert Image needs a publicly reachable image URL that Google can fetch directly — links behind a login or private permissions will fail — and accepts only PNG, JPEG, or GIF files.
• Read Document returns the document's body text only; embedded images, and content in headers or footers, are not included in the extracted text.
