# Create a Google Sheets file — Google Drive

Botize method — `drive.create_spreadsheet` (action).

Creates a new empty Google Sheets spreadsheet in Google Drive, allowing you to set its name and optionally choose the destination folder.

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `name` *(string)* — Spreadsheet name
- `folder_url` *(string)* — Destination folder URL (Optional)

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{document_id}}` *(text)* — Spreadsheet Id
- `{{document_name}}` *(text)* — Spreadsheet Name
- `{{document_mimetype}}` *(text)* — Spreadsheet MimeType
- `{{download_url}}` *(text)* — Open URL
