Document Generation
Auto-generate PDFs or DOCX documents from templates using form field data, including digital signatures.
Overview
PlugIQ can automatically generate PDF or DOCX documents at any stage of a process, populated with data from the submission form. This is useful for approval letters, contracts, purchase orders, and compliance certificates.
Creating a Template
Document templates are created in Google Docs or Microsoft Word. Use the {{variable_name}} syntax to insert field values. You can find the variable name for each field in the Form Editor under the field’s settings.
Uploading the Template
- In the process builder, add an Automated stage.
- Set the action type to Generate Document.
- Upload your template file or link your Google Drive / SharePoint.
- Choose the output format (PDF or DOCX) and where to store the generated file.
Digital Signatures
If your form includes a Signature field, the captured signature image is automatically embedded in the generated document at the position of the {{signature_field_name}} tag.
