  • Export Docs as Markdown: Convert Google Docs to Markdown for processing, archiving, or documentation pipelines.
  • Export Sheets as CSV: Output each sheet as separate CSV files for data analysis and reporting.

  • Workflow Automation: Integrate exports and metadata lookups into batch jobs, notes repositories, or knowledge bases.
