I am trying to use Airtable, Make, and Documentero to pull data from multiple records in Airtable and place in a table in a Word document generated with Documentero. The table will have multiple rows and multiple columns. Each row will contain several fields from Airtable, each field with its own column. How do I format the template in Microsoft word and configure the fields in Make using the Documentero module?

 

Hey ​@rfulda 

The best way to handle this is by designing your Word template with a placeholder table that Documentero can recognize and repeat for each Airtable record. You'll want to set up the table with column headers matching your Airtable fields and use Documentero’s special merge tags inside the cells to pull data dynamically. In Make, you’ll fetch all relevant Airtable records, then map each field properly into Documentero’s array structure to populate multiple rows in the table automatically.

Conceptually:

  • Create a Word table with one row of merge tags representing the fields.

  • In Make, use an iterator or aggregator to pass multiple records as an array to Documentero.

  • Documentero then generates one row per record filling each column with the corresponding Airtable data.

I’ve never used Documentero before, but if you’re using Make’s Word modules, you would need to create a loop to populate a table.

Check out the screenshot below for how you would setup the table in your Word template to accommodate the loop in Make.

Hope this helps! If you’d like to hire the best Airtable consultant to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld
