DocsAutomator enables you to apply text styles conditionally based on specific values within documents.

​
How It Works

The feature operates in two steps:
1

Define the Condition

Choose an operator (text, numeric, date, or checkbox, depending on the field type) and what to compare against: a literal value, another placeholder, or a source field
2

Apply Styling

Select the desired text formatting to apply when the condition is met

​

​
Row Background Colors for Line Items

For tabular data presentation, DocsAutomator provides a specialized feature allowing background colors to be applied to alternating rows in line items—either on even or odd rows, creating a striped table appearance commonly used in professional documents.
Apply background color to rows 2, 4, 6, 8, etc.
