Copy the content of a Google Doc and past into another Google Doc

[FaCe]

Hi,

is it possible copy the content of a Google Doc (clicking on a button in AppSheet where the link of that Google Doc is saved) and past into another Google Doc ?

Or directly when using Google Doc integrating in some way AppSheet inside Google Doc ?

I'm afraid AppSheet doesn't have this kind of functionality directly.

You can, using AppSheet's integration with Apps Script. Basically, you can do almost anything in all Workspace products from within AppSheet using Apps Script.

Any hints on how to proceed ? I'm totally new with Apps Script ...

Apps Script is a simple scripting environment that let's you control and automate Google Workspace products, like for examples sending emails, create and modify Google Sheets and manipulating files and folders in Drive. It can also be used to create simple web applications.

Apps Script is based on javascript and it adds Classes and methods relevant to Workspace products, thus some javascript knowledge is needed; not much but some. 

If you understand javascript, you can easily start by the reading Apps Script reference documents here: Reference overview | Apps Script | Google for Developers. Otherwise, it is a good opportunity to start learning javascript and acquire a very useful skill. 

Through an Apps Script task, AppSheet allows you to call and pass arguments to Apps Script function and process return arguments from the executed function. 

Tell me if you need any help!
