Fetch Google Doc for shared document only works in JSON format

To file a bug ticket, please follow the steps below:

I am trying to fetch a google doc that was shared with me, not one that lives on my drive. When I choose the Export Format = “Plain Text” then I receive an error that says:

I receive a similar error for any other export format I choose, other than the JSON output. When I choose the JSON output, it works as expected (you can see the google doc ID is identical in the log):

Is this issue resolved?

My Drive File - can be read

Shared Drive File - same file can be updated but cannot be read in plain text or markdown or html - json format works though

Hi @sandeep,

Unfortunately, the issue persists. Shared Drive files can only be read in JSON format with the Fetch Google Doc block for now.

I’ve followed up with our engineering team and will update the thread when I have an update.

Hi @sandeep,

The issue should now be fixed. Can you give it a try on your end and let me know how it goes?
