Zoho Writer (wordprocessor similar msword) allows creation of powerful templates for mail merge, form generation etc. Has anyone created any extension to use airtable data to do mail merge for these automation templates.  https://www.zoho.com/documentautomation/

The best way of automating document creation with Zoho Writer is to use Make’s Zoho Writer automations alongside Make’s Airtable automations.

If you’ve never used Make before, I’ve assembled a bunch of Make training resources in this thread. For example, here is one of the ways that you could instantly trigger a Make automation from Airtable.

I also give live demonstrations of how to use Make in many of my Airtable podcast appearances. For example, in this video, I show how to work with Airtable arrays in Make.

Hope this helps!

Yes, Zoho Writer for mail merge using automation tools like Zoho Flow or Zapier. They let you pull Airtable data into Zoho Writer templates to automatically generate personalized documents without coding.

Zapier is not typically recommended by the Airtable consultants of this community.

Make is INFINITELY more powerful & customizable than Zapier, yet it is SIGNIFICANTLY CHEAPER than Zapier.

I wrote an entire post here comparing Make vs. Zapier.
