FAQ

Questions about Google Docs + Gmail.

How long does it take to connect Google Docs and Gmail on Tiny Command?
Under two minutes. Authorize Google Docs and Gmail once each, drop the Google Docs trigger and Gmail action onto a workflow canvas, map a couple of fields, and publish. No code, no glue.
Is the Google Docs ↔ Gmail integration real-time?
Yes. Both Google Docs and Gmail expose webhooks, so events from one fire workflows in the other within seconds rather than on a polling interval.
Can I filter or transform data between Google Docs and Gmail?
Yes. Add a Filter node to only pass through matching events, a Switch node to branch by value, or an AI / Code node to transform payloads before they hit Gmail.
What Google Docs events can trigger a Gmail workflow?
Any of the 2 Google Docs triggers, including "Google Doc Created". Each fires in real time when the matching event happens in Google Docs.
Do I need a paid plan to use Google Docs with Gmail?
No. There's a free tier that covers most Google Docs+Gmail use cases without a credit card. Paid plans unlock higher run volumes and team features when you outgrow it.
What if I want Gmail → Google Docs instead?
Build it the same way, in reverse. There's a dedicated /integrations/google-gmail/with/google-docs page with the reverse-direction triggers and actions.
