Create Documents from database

Here are 4 popular solutions for generating documents from Airtable that can do what you’re looking to do:

1. DocuMint — the original document creation app for Airtable. Creates PDF files.

2. DocsAutomator — creates Google Docs documents or PDF files. 

3. Make’s integrations — which can be integrated with any document-creation app of your choosing, even something as simple as custom Microsoft Word documents.
   
   If you’ve never used Make before, I’ve assembled a bunch of Make training resources in this thread. For example, here is one way that you can instantly trigger a Make automation from Airtable.

4. Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable — which offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s forms don’t offer, such as the ability to automatically generate custom PDF files from a form submission.
   
   I show off this feature on this Airtable podcast episode:

   Using Fillout to create an eSignature approval process with PDF file creation.

Hope this helps!

Hey Tony,

As Scott mentioned, check out our On2Air app for Documents.

You create a template in Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides, and the app will automatically generate the document with your Airtable data. You can additionally add the file URL into your Airtable base and/or as a PDF. You could then automatically email it to your client using Automations.

It’s free to create some documents, so feel free to give it a try. Glad to give you free setup support also.

Here’s an example using a Sales Contract and Google Docs

Hi, thanks for input, will have a look of the app you mentioned…

Hi, many thanks for the suggestion, will have look and try…

I'm sorry that you had to face this problem. I can share my experience of using databases. At the moment, I am using Azure Data Explorer. It is a fast and fully managed service for analyzing a large volume of real-time streaming data from applications, websites, and Internet of Things devices. To use Azure Data Explorer, you first need to create a cluster and one or more databases in this cluster. Then you have to accept the data into the databases so that queries can be made to them. First, do not forget about the order in the physical office. If you don't have much experience in this, read the article https://www.creative.onl/startupsgeek/document-shredding/.

Hey!

There is a very similar case from plumsail documents on the blog. They write how to create PDFs from multiple Airtable records with image attachments for real estate.

Plus they have integration with Airtable so you don't need any other apps. You just need to customize the template and use plumsail documents. You can generate your real estate list in any format (they support all major formats, including docx, PDF). And they also have a 30-day trial, you can test the application.

Hello,

You can use Typeflow.us. It lets you generate PDFs based on Airtable data. We use Google Docs for templating. You can generate PDFs in two ways:

• Use the form builder: create a form and generate PDFs whenever a new submission occurs.
• Automation: map your data between airtable and Google Docs variables. Then import a script in your base to generate PDFs directly from your table.

Currently, we offer a lifetime plan at 200$. You will be able to generate as many PDFs as needed.

feel free to check out typeflow.us

Late to the party, but wanted to post DocsAutomator here: https://docsautomator.co/

I'm the founder / developer of the software and we have lots of happy Airtable customers + I'm always happy to help you get started!

Wanted to add FlexiPage as an alternative. I’ve tailor made this extension to support multi-page documents and add automation support.

You can create templates within the extension itself
