To make a 100% copy of an existing file in Google Docs while maintaining its original styles and content using BuildShip, you would typically utilize the Google Docs API within the platform.
Here's a step-by-step guide to doing this:
1. Set Up OAuth for Google Docs: Ensure you have set up OAuth 2.0, which is required to access Google Services. You'll need to enable the Google Docs API in your Google Cloud Project and configure your OAuth consent screen.
2. Use the Google Docs API Node: BuildShip supports operations on Google Docs using Google Docs nodes. You need to configure this node to access your document. This involves specifying the document ID you want to copy.
3. Duplicate the Document: To create a duplicate of the document, you would call the
documents.copy method from the API. This operation can be triggered programmatically within BuildShip using a custom node or a script node to handle the API request.
4. Verify Content and Style Preservation: Ensure that the document styles and content are fully preserved. You might need to check the API response to ensure that the file formats (text, images, styles) are accurately copied.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find a specific step-by-step tutorial in the available documentation you provided, but you can refer to related Google API documentation for detailed instructions on copying documents using API calls. Also, you might want to check out BuildShip's documentation related to using nodes, specifically OAuth and Google Workspace integrations, which might provide further assistance【4:14†source】.
If you need specific help within BuildShip, I recommend reaching out via their in-app support or checking their documentation.
