# Noloco

> Generate PDFs directly from Noloco internal tools

DocsAutomator natively integrates with Noloco, a no-code platform for creating internal tools on top of data sources including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Airtable, and Google Sheets. This integration enables seamless PDF generation directly from Noloco app data.

## Step-by-Step Implementation

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create Automation">
    Establish a new automation within your DocsAutomator account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Data Source">
    Choose Noloco as your data source.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Google Doc Template">
    Every DocsAutomator automation requires a Google Doc template. Consult the [Google Doc Template Guide](/docsautomator-basics/google-doc-template-guide) for configuration options. For testing, use the Playground Template.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add DocsAutomator Action in Noloco">
    Within Noloco, add the "Generate a document with DocsAutomator" action to any workflow.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure API Key">
    Locate your API key in DocsAutomator settings and input it into the Noloco action configuration.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Automation and Map Fields">
    Choose your created automation and map template placeholders to corresponding Noloco data fields (including special handling for images and line items).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start Creating Documents">
    Your integration is now complete. Generate documents from Noloco using Workflows, with options to save PDFs to records or send via email.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Dynamic Images

Image placeholders use the syntax `{{image_UNIQUENAME}}`. Map these placeholders to URLs from Noloco file fields in workflow configuration.

```
{{image_logo}}
{{image_signature}}
{{image_product_photo}}
```

## Line Items

Build dynamic tables from linked records. Ensure proper syntax in Google Docs templates per the [template guide](/docsautomator-basics/google-doc-template-guide). Map line items to records associated with triggering data.

## E-Signatures and PDF Templates

<Info>
  DocsAutomator supports [e-signatures](/features/docsautomator-esign) with all data sources, including Noloco. After generating a document, you can automatically route it for signing. DocsAutomator also supports [PDF templates](/docsautomator-basics/pdf-template-guide) in addition to Google Doc templates.
