# Documint

# 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in sync with your template:** Fields are read live from your chosen Documint template, so the mapping never drifts out of date when you update the template's design.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.
