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.

What we will achieve

  • Create a Google Doc with predefined content

  • Connect Google Docs and Slack using UCL

  • Automatically share the document to a Slack channel

1. Selecting Your Workspace in UCL

  • Log in to UCL from ucl.dev.

  • After you log in, you can select a workspace or create a new one by clicking on Create Workspace button, after which you'll be directed to the next page to set up your integrations.

When you first log in to UCL, a workspace titled "My Workspace" is created by default.

2. Choose Apps & Actions

  • Selecting your workspace will take you to the Connect Page in your Dashboard, you can Choose the Apps You Need along with viewing your selected apps and enabled actions.

Actions represent the functions you can perform within each app.

Connecting Required Apps & Actions

  • From the Connecting Existing Apps button, you can browse and connect to any app available in UCL.

For this use case we need to connect the Google Docs and Slack apps with Create Doc and Send Message Actions respectively.

You can select any app by checking the top-right box on the app and click on Select Tools to modify your action selection and then finalize this setup by clicking the Confirm Action button in the right-bottom.

Google Docs

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

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

  • 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.

3. Test in Playground

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

  • Run commands directly with your AI agent against the integrated apps.

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

Assign "Task Name" to "User's Jira ID"

The AI Assistant will process your request using the appropriate action in the connected app, such as updating task in Jira.

  • Once successful, the task ownership will be updated in your Jira workspace.

This setup allows you to automate and streamline task management in Jira using natural language, making workflows faster and more efficient.
