What recipe-draft-email-from-doc does

The skill fetches a Google Doc by documentId, takes the text from its body, and passes that content to Gmail as the message body. The recipient and subject are supplied when the message is sent with gws gmail +send.

It requires the gws binary plus the gws-docs and gws-gmail skills. The recipe uses gws docs documents get to retrieve the document, copies the body text, then sends the message with that content.

Install it when an agent needs to move ready text from Google Docs into Gmail. Check it with a test document first if the email needs editing or complex formatting before sending.

What it helps with

  • move Google Doc text into a Gmail message
  • send document content to a chosen recipient
  • set an email subject from an agent request
  • fetch a document by documentId with gws

Example prompts for the agent

  • Read the Google Doc with `documentId` `DOC_ID` and send its text to `[email protected]` with the subject `Newsletter Update`.
  • Run `gws docs documents get`, copy the document body, and use it as the Gmail message body.
  • Send this Google Doc as an email with `gws gmail +send`.
