Step-by-Step Integration

1

Create Automation

Establish a new automation in your DocsAutomator account.
2

Choose Your Template

Every automation needs a template. Use a Google Doc, a Word (.docx) file, or a PDF. Create one with AI, browse the template library, start from scratch, or drag your own file in. See the Google Doc Template Guide, the Word Template Guide, or the PDF Template Guide.
3

No Data Source Needed

Zapier pushes data to DocsAutomator, so you do not pick a data source here. Leave the automation without one and set the connection up inside Zapier in the next steps.
4

Add Zapier Action

Within Zapier, add the DocsAutomator “Create Document” action to your workflow.
5

Authenticate

Input your DocsAutomator API key (found in account settings) to authorize Zapier access and load existing automations.
6

Select Automation

Choose which DocsAutomator automation to execute.
7

Map Data Fields

  • Assign document name
  • Map template placeholders to Zapier data sources or static values
8

Test Generation

Enable Document Previews during testing to generate watermarked PDFs without consuming credits.

Line Items Implementation

For table-based data, use Zapier’s “Line Itemizer” formatter feature to prepare comma-separated data. Map the resulting output to line item fields in DocsAutomator.
The Line Itemizer helps you transform multiple data rows into the format DocsAutomator expects for line items.

Supported Automation Types

Template Types and E-Signatures

DocsAutomator supports e-signatures with all data sources, including Zapier. After generating a document, you can automatically route it for signing. The Zapier “Create Document” action works with Google Doc, Word (.docx), and PDF templates. In each case the action lists your template placeholders as mappable fields.
