recipe-draft-email-from-doc

Fetch the document content with gws docs documents get using the document ID, then pass the extracted text to gws gmail +send with the recipient, subject, and body parameters. This recipe chains both commands into one workflow.

Keep the newsletter draft in a Google Doc, then run this recipe to retrieve the document body via the Docs API and send it through Gmail with your chosen subject line. No manual copy-pasting is required.

The recipe requires the gws command-line binary to be installed, plus two prerequisite skills: gws-docs for document retrieval and gws-gmail for message sending. Both skills must be loaded before execution.

The recipe copies the text from the document body content into the email body. Rich formatting such as embedded images or complex layouts may not transfer, since the content is passed as a plain body string to the Gmail send command.

Retrieval fails when the document ID is invalid, the document does not exist, or the authenticated account lacks access permission. Verify the DOC_ID value and confirm the Google account used by gws has read access to the document.
