How to connect Google Chat and Google docs
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Chat and Google docs
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Google Chat, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Google Chat or Google docs will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Chat or Google docs, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Google Chat Node
Select the Google Chat node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Chat, Google docs, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Google Chat and Google docs integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Chat and Google docs (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google Chat and Google docs
Google Chat + Google Docs + Google Calendar: When a new message is received in Google Chat, create a new document in Google Docs with the chat content. Then, create an event in Google Calendar with a link to the document.
Google Chat + Google Docs + Google Drive: When a new message is received in Google Chat, check if it contains the word 'finalized'. If it does, trigger Google Docs to get the specified document and save it to Google Drive.
