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
  1. Follow the step-by-step assistant for generating a document.
  2. 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".
