Automate Create Docs from Google Sheets and Email via Gmail

Introduction

Turn spreadsheet entries into polished documents and send them instantly—no manual copy‑paste. ✅

Trigger Event

When a new row is added or an existing row is updated in your selected Google Sheets tab, the automation starts.

Actions

  • The sheet data is read from the row that triggered the event.
  • A document is generated from your chosen TemplateDocs template. The template placeholders are filled with values from the sheet (e.g., name, notes, totals).
  • The generated file (DOCX or PDF) is saved and its link is captured.
  • Gmail sends an email to the recipient found in your sheet. The newly created document is attached, and the subject/body can also come from sheet fields.
  • Your contact receives a ready-to-use document in their inbox—minutes saved, errors avoided.

Benefits

  • Save time: Auto-generate and send documents from each form/submission
  • Fewer errors: No manual copy, consistent templates and fields
  • Faster response: Instant emails with attachments after each entry
  • Scalable: Works for offers, invoices, letters, or certificates
  • Flexible: Choose DOCX or PDF and map any sheet columns to template fields
