2. Image URL Definition: The workflow defines a static image URL or connects to a datasource for dynamic image retrieval.
3. Find & Copy Docx Template: It retrieves a predefined Google Docs template for use in the workflow.
4. Find Image ID in Docx: The workflow sends a request to Google Docs API to get the document details, including the image ID that needs to be replaced.
5. Replace Image in Docx: It sends a request to replace the specified image in the document with a new image URL.
6. Make File Shareable: Optionally, the workflow can make the document publicly shareable.
7. Download File: Finally, the workflow can download the updated document in both DOCX and PDF formats, making it ready for distribution.
