Create a Google Doc and share it to Slack - using UCL

In this guide, you’ll create a Google Doc with some content and automatically share it to a Slack channel. We’ll use Fastn to connect the two apps and make the workflow run in just a few steps.

Google Docs

• You need to authenticate your Google account, after which the Google Docs App will appear as Connected.

• From Select Tools, you can enable the Create Doc Action.

Slack

• Similarly, you need to connect the Slack App and enable the Send Message Action.

• You will now be able to see the selected apps with enabled actions on your dashboard.

Test in Playground

• You can use the Playground (from the three-dot menu, top right) in your dashboard to test all your connected apps.

Creating a Google Doc and Sending it to Slack

• In the AI Assistant, enter the prompt describing the action you want to perform. For example:

Create a Google Doc titled "MCP Server"

Next, you can give a command to add content to the document or send it to a Slack channel right away.

Send the doc to slack channel *channel_name*

For every command prompt, the assistant would ask you to confirm execution by clicking on the Run Tool button.

Once successful, you will see a success message in the assistant, and the document will be sent to the potential Slack channel.

This setup allows you to automate and streamline document creation and sharing it across different platforms using natural language, making workflows faster and more efficient.
