When working in Salesforce, having a document automation process to generate documents and work with them directly in your CRM platform is helpful. The correct document automation process can support you when creating, working with, and distributing your various documents faster so that you can focus on sales, marketing, customer services, and other initiatives in your business.
Join us in the article below as we discuss how you can automate the creation of your documents using Salesforce and third-party applications.
There are many methods or tools found in Salesforce that you can use to create documents. However, if you are looking for other options, you could create documents in Salesforce with third-party integrations or external services. Let’s consider a few options when creating documents automatically in Salesforce.
You have two options if you would like to use the Salesforce automation tools provided by Salesforce to automatically create documents.
To start, you get the Process Builder. This tool lets you automate many business processes, such as creating documents. You can use the Process Builder to create documents by defining actions and criteria. Once you are happy with your copy, you can use Salesforce to generate the document using the “Create a Record” action. Your fields in the generated document will populate from related records.
You could also use Salesforce Flow as an option to create documents automatically. This tool gives you more advanced automation options to help you build complex document generation processes. Document automation and Flow automation generously supports using multiple elements and actions in your document generation process.
If you are familiar with the Apex programming language and need a highly customized automation process for creating a document in Salesforce, then we suggest this route. Use Apex code to create triggers or classes that generate documents depending on events and conditions.
You could also use a third-party application as an option to create documents automatically in Salesforce. These third-party apps are dedicated to automating document generation processes and can be found on the Salesforce AppExchange. Many of these applications have simple interfaces and provide templates that you can use to create documents quickly. However, not all applications are the same or provide the highest software quality. Some reliable options for creating documents in Salesforce include Titan, Conga Composer, and DocuSign Gen for Salesforce.
Salesforce provides many automation tools, but your chosen ones depend on your project requirements. Other factors that you need to consider before choosing an automation tool include the complexity of your project, the user experience that you need to deliver at the end of the day, and your staff’s technical skills to use the tools. Consider using Workflow Rules or Process Builder tools for simple automation in Salesforce. If you have a complex process to build, you must use multiple Salesforce tools. In specific cases, you should use Apex Triggers or Flow to help you create custom solutions for your project.
