Documint integration
Connect Documint with your Softr applications to generate polished PDF documents — invoices, contracts, certificates, and more — directly from your workflows, with zero manual formatting.
Overview
The Softr Documint integration lets you turn workflow data into finished documents automatically. Design your document once as a template in Documint, then generate a new PDF every time a workflow runs — populated with data from your app, no copy-pasting or manual document creation required.
Once you connect a template, Softr automatically reads its fields, so you always map data to the placeholders your template actually has — including repeating sections like line items, which can be bound to a list from earlier in your workflow.
Available Actions
Create document
Generate a document from a Documint template. Pick the template, map its fields to data from your workflow, and get back a link to the finished document — ready to send, store, or share.
Key Benefits
- No-code simplicity: Configure document generation visually in Softr, without any technical setup.
- Always in sync with your template: Fields are read live from your chosen Documint template, so the mapping never drifts out of date when you update the template’s design.
- Repeating sections made easy: Bind a list of records from your workflow (e.g. order line items) directly to a repeating section in your template.
- Event-driven generation: Automatically produce a document the moment a form is submitted, a record is created, or any other app event occurs.
Example Use Cases
| Use Case | Description |
