Automations
Use our pre-made automation recipes to create docs on auto-pilot
DocExport documents can be automatically generated based on a button click, a date or a status change.
Create DocExport recipe
Create a DocExport recipe for a board or single item
- Follow the step-by-step assistant for generating a document.
- In step 3 you can save all settings as a DocExport recipe in order to reuse them again in an automation/integration. For a single item you have to save the settings as a recipe. Please specify a name for the recipe so that you can easily identify it later when creating the automation, e.g. "Create NDA" or "Send invoice".
Add an automation
- Click on integrate (next to "Automate").
- Search for "DocExport" and select it.
- You will find three different automation recipes.
Select one recipe that suits your use case and fill in the parameters.
a) Status integration recipe
Example: Changing the Status to Signed, creates a new document based on the DocExport recipe "NDA".
b) Button integration recipe
Example: Clicking on the button Generate PDF, creates a new document based on the DocExport recipe "NDA".
In order to use the button integration you need a column that contains a button. You can also create a new one on the fly while adding the integration.c) Date integration recipe
Example: 1 day after the timeline end date is reached, create a new document based on the DocExport recipe "ProjectReport".
- Add the integration to your board. All done. If you now change the status/click a specific button or a certain date is reached, a document will automatically be created.
