AutoDoc for Google Forms™ turns every Google Forms™ submission into a polished, personalized document without copy-pasting, manual mail merges, or external servers. Design a Google Doc™ or Slides™ template once, connect it to your form, and let the add-on create and deliver files automatically every time someone submits.

Whether you issue certificates, registration confirmations, contracts, invoices, application summaries, or internal paperwork, AutoDoc replaces placeholders in your template with the respondent’s answers and saves the results to a Drive™ folder you choose.

HOW IT WORKS
Create a template — Use any Google Docs™ or Google Slides™ file. Add markers such as {{Full Name}} and {{Event Date}} that match your form question titles.

Open the add-on from your form, pick the template and destination folder, choose output formats, set a file naming pattern, and optionally enable email delivery. 

Documents on every submit — Each new response copies your template, fills in the answers, exports the formats you selected, stores files in Drive™, and emails them if you turned that on.


What you can generate
Google Docs™ and Google Slides™ templates — Placeholders work in body text, headers, footers, tables, and Slides text boxes.

Google Sheets™ templates — Spreadsheet-based templates with marker replacement and embedded graphics (see below).

Multiple formats per submission — PDF, Microsoft Word (.docx) from Docs™ templates, and PowerPoint (.pptx) from Slides templates. You can enable one or several at once.

Dynamic file names — Build filenames from any answer or built-in variable (for example {{Full Name}}_Registration_{{_date}}). Invalid characters are sanitized automatically.

Additional documents — Attach extra templates beyond the main one—each with its own conditions, folder, naming pattern, and output formats (for example a certificate plus a receipt from the same submission).

Smart content beyond plain text
Conditional generation — Run a template only when answers match your rules, using AND / OR logic and grouped conditions. Operators include equals, contains, starts with, numeric comparisons, regex, exists / does not exist, and more.

Embed QR codes — Insert scannable QR codes from answer values using {{Embed QRCODE, …}} directives (Docs™, Slides™, Sheets™, and email HTML).

Embed images from uploads — Pull images from File upload questions with {{Embed IMAGE, …}}, including optional width and height.

Email to respondents — Send generated files when the form collects email addresses (custom subject, HTML body, CC, and BCC—with the same placeholders as your template).

Email to a fixed list — Notify a team inbox or distribution list on every submission.

Drive sharing options — Optionally share new files with the respondent or additional viewers, commenters, or editors, with controls on re-sharing and download access.
