#Document Generation9 discussing

Working with a client who wants to set the thank you letter on the gift itself, and then dynamically generate the right document when running a document generation batch.  

 

Has anyone worked with the document generation processes on something like this before? Do custom batch jobs require both Apex and OmniStudio? Has anyone been able to create a custom solution in Flow?

    you don't need OmniStudio or custom Apex for this. A scheduled Flow can pick the right template per gift and generate the documents in batch on its own. 

     

    Disclosure: I'm the founder of CloudFiles, so weigh this accordingly.

    CloudFiles Document Generation is built for exactly this case. You author the letter as a Word template, then a Generate Document Flow action runs it sync or async, takes a template Id at runtime so each gift resolves its own letter, and handles bulk and batch generation. Output saves to the record or external storage, with e-signature if you need it. No OmniStudio or Apex  required.

Hi everyone,

I’m building a native Salesforce document generation solution (AppExchange-focused) with a drag-and-drop builder and pluggable external data connectors. The idea is to simplify multi-system document generation without relying on heavy external rendering engines.

For those building managed packages:

  • How are you currently handling document generation inside your apps?
  • Do you embed existing DocGen tools or build custom solutions?
  • What gaps do you see in today’s offerings?

I’d really value input from fellow ISVs and am happy to exchange insights or do a quick walkthrough.

Hi everyone!

My organization is currently using Conga Composer to generate our acknowledgement letters. We're looking for alternative apps that will automate document generation as well as merge data from anywhere into any template and populate documents with data from any system of record while sending and saving as needed. Please let me know if you have any recommendations and your experience with them! Thank you so much!

    Hi, I am answering about a year later, but it sounds like you may want to look into a full-blown composition tool "data from anywhere" implies this to me. I am well-versed in this domain and am happy to talk to you or others at your company to identify the right solution to consider. If you want to talk let me know here (since this was so ong ago, I won't add my email info to this message, yet.)

I can't for the life of me figure this out. In the recent Summer 24 release of Nonprofit Cloud, we have the ability to generate gift receipts and acknowledgements out of the box. The steps to use are outlined in this help doc: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sfdo.NPC_FR_Gift_Acknowledgments_and_Tax_Receipts.htm&type=5

 

However...I'd added the Generate Document button to my account pages and it doesn't show up no matter what I do. I'm a system admin and have all Fundraising, DocGen, and Omnistudio permission sets assigned to myself. Has anyone been seeing this same issue or have any guidance?

    @Chris Miller -  It's a bug in how the button visibility is coded. You have to be a direct member of the file library. Can't be just a group member with access, even though that's what the docs say and that's how the rest of DocGen works for all other uses. There is a bug in the button code for controlling visibility on it. They are logging a KI for it. I just got off the case call for it where we tracked it down. 

     

    So add yourself as a direct member to the File Library, not via a group membership for a workaround until it's fixed.

Has anyone tried adding custom LWC onto the document builder ?

I tried to do so, somehow my component doesn't show up in the builder to drag and drop. I have tried all the targets in the meta xml file.

 

Any help is appreciable.

    @Daniel Zheng good to know :)

    Just to understand the use case: the signature collection is the trigger for service document creation, right? But the signatures are not collected using the mobile app in this scenario (as otherwise the Generate button could simply be used), or are they? Thx!

In the Account object, there is one button. Once we click on that one the document is generated in Word format now I looking to update the logo.
