Hidden values enable you to set placeholders to “Always hide” for use as conditions in sections or as recipient email addresses without rendering the value in the document.

​
Key Features

  • Conditional Usage: Apply hidden values as conditions for sections
  • Email Recipients: Use hidden values as recipient addresses without displaying them
  • Document Clean: Values remain invisible in final output while still functional

​
Use Cases

Section Visibility Logic

Control which document sections appear based on hidden field values

Dynamic Email Routing

Route generated documents to different recipients based on hidden data fields

Backend Processing

Store metadata or calculation results needed for automation but not for document display

Conditional Logic

Use values to trigger other features without showing them

​
Example

You have a field {{account_manager_email}} that you want to use for sending the document but don’t want it visible in the document itself:
  1. Map the account_manager_email placeholder to your data source
  2. Enable “Always hide” in the placeholder settings
  3. Use the placeholder value in your email configuration
  4. The email will be sent to that address, but it won’t appear in the document
