Generate Document

The document generation process automatically creates finished, professional documents by combining your pre-designed template with live data from Salesforce. Once your template is fully configured with dynamic fields, layout design, and branding settings, generating a document is a seamless one-click process.
The system pulls information from the specified record (such as an Opportunity on Account) and all its related data, inserting it directly into the correct places in your template. It applies all your formatting rules, security settings, and branding elements to produce a polished PDF or Word file, ready for immediate use, sharing, or signing.

Note: If the document template is not activated the system displays a message.

Created , Completion, Rejection ,Remainder and Expired Emails

  • Created Email → This email is sent when a document is created and initiated for the signing process. It notifies the signers that a new document is available for their review and signature, marking the official start of the signing workflow.
  • Completion Email → Once all signers have successfully signed the document, every signer will receive a completion email containing a copy of the final sign document.
  • Rejection Email:
    • If any signer rejects or declines to sign the document, the signing process is immediately terminated.
    • All signers who have already signed will be notified that the document has been rejected and is invalid.
  • Reminder Email (If configured in the signer section) → The reminder email is automatically sent to signers who have not yet signed the document within the defined timeframe. It serves as a gentle notification, prompting pending signers to complete the signing process before the expiration date, helping ensure timely completion of the document.
  • Expired Email → This email is triggered when a document is not signed within the defined expiration period. Once the expiration date is reached, the signing process automatically ends, and an expiration email is sent to all signers. This email notifies them that the document has expired and is no longer valid for signing.
