Get started with your connector

DocuMotor offers comprehensive templating based on Microsoft 365 templates, combined with flexible template-level data transformation, to allow any data to automate any document, presentation, or spreadsheet, without constraints.

Whether you are part of:

  • Sales team, that often must prepare transactional documents like proposals and invoices, negotiate on contract terms, and participate in contract management. Automatically generate documents directly from your CRM such as Microsoft Dynamics or Salesforce.

  • Recruitment and professional services, where CVs and references are key to being able to operate.

  • Manufacturing company, blessed with many SKUs also have the curse of high complexity in creating an overview of what they are selling.

  • Healthcare organization, looking to implement document automation to generate, manage and transform contracts, insurance policies, invitations, and claims.

First step when automating with DocuMotor is a great template and its corresponding Template ID.

To configure a template, please see the DocuMotor documentation.

Acquiring the Template ID

Access the list of templates ("Templates") from the menu and navigate to the template you wish to generate from the file list. Once you have navigated to the template open the template editor by clicking on the name of the template. In the Template editor click the "Snippets"-button in the top bar. Select the Template ID, which is the ID inside the API url shown: https://documotor.com/api/template/{TemplateID}/generate.

Acquiring the Stage ID

This step is only needed if you are using a versioned Template. Access the "Management" page from the menu, from here navigate to "Stages". Either copy an existing Stage ID from the list, or create a new stage by entering a name and clicking the "New Stage"-button.
