# How does the Google docs integration work?

## Now you can build your newsletter in Google docs and easily import it into the Letterhead composer.

When working in Google docs, make sure to structure your document as follows:

1. Use the **Heading** options, not **Title** and **Subtitle**.
2. Use normal body text for standard paragraph content.
3. If your document includes links, they will be imported as **URL blocks**.

### Getting Started

Go to **Newsletters** in your channel account, open the draft you want to work on.

- Scroll to the **Integration** section at the very bottom of the editor.
- Find the **Google Doc document block** and drag the Google Doc integration block into the draft area.
- Click on the block to open the Google Doc selection options, and click **Choose a Google doc**.
- Log in to your Google account when prompted, and grant the requested permissions so the integration can access your documents.
- Select the Google Doc you would like to import.

### Cautionary Notes

- Make sure you are selecting the correct Google account before granting permissions.
- Verify that the document chosen is the intended one, especially if multiple similar files exist.
- If the integration does not appear, confirm you are looking in the **Integration** section at the bottom of the editor.
- For the format mapping, here is how it is set up:
  - H1 = H1
  - H2 = H2
  - H3 = H3
  - Divider = Divider
  - Bulleted list = Paragraph with bulleted list
  - Image = Image
  - URLs = URL Blocks

**None of the metadata like **Title** or **Subtitle** will carry over.**

### Tips for Efficiency

- Keep the target Google Doc open or easy to find before starting the setup.
- Use a clearly named document to reduce selection errors.
- If you frequently use the same file, confirm it is accessible in the connected Google account to speed up future setup.
