Q: Google Sheets to Google Docs
I'm interested in creating a record for each of my students. I initially planned to create this record in Google Docs (one document per student). I wanted it to be updated from one or more Google Sheets spreadsheets exported from my forms (I use FluentForms in particular).
Is it possible to update a Google Docs document with information from different spreadsheets?

First, ensure the Google Docs API is enabled on your Google Cloud project. After enabling, generate an API key which you'll use to authenticate your API requests. Organize your student data within Google Sheets, and use Logic Sheet to send this data to your Google Docs templates. Your template documents should include placeholders (e.g., {{Name}}, {{Grade}}) that correspond to the data in your Sheets, so the API request can dynamically replace these placeholders with actual data.
Once the setup is in place, Logic Sheet enables you to trigger an API request whenever your Google Sheets data is updated, whether by edit, form submission, or on a scheduled basis. This way, each student’s document stays updated in synchronization with your spreadsheet entries. Logic Sheet supports various triggers, including on-edit and time-based triggers, which you can customize depending on your needs.
