https://digitalinspiration.com/docs/document-studio/embed
Document Studio includes built-in support for embedding Barcodes, QR Codes, Google Charts™, Images, Links, Google Drawings™, and Google Drive™ files in emails and documents.

You can also display conditional content in documents, emails and PDFs. Use IF statement with an expression; the content will be shown only if the expression evaluates to true.

## How Document Studio Works

Document Studio allows you to automate the creation and sharing of documents in a few easy steps.

1. Add the source data in a Google spreadsheet or import from Excel and CSV files. You can also create documents from new Google Forms™ submissions.
2. Build your templates with markers in Google Docs™, Google Sheets™ or Google Slides™.
3. Document studio will quickly generate multiple documents, one per row in the source sheet, replacing the markers in the template with the actual data.

## Bonus Features in Document Studio

Document Studio includes Mail Merge so you can automatically send the generated documents to one or more recipients in personalized emails. The included WYSIWYG email designer helps you create nice looking emails with your own brand logo images.

All your documents are stored in Google Drive and you can personalized the file name as well the folder path where those files are saved. Use built-in sharing options to immediately share the generated documents with customers, team members or anyone else.

Your information is 100% safe in your Google Drive™. The add-on does not store, share, or upload any of your data.

✅ Getting Started Guide:
https://digitalinspiration.com/docs/document-studio/tutorial
Use Document Studio to process non-disclosure agreements (NDA) for your business. The client will fill out a Google Form™ and the automation workflow will convert those form submissions into PDF files. The PDF files are securely archived in your Google Drive™ and a copy of the agreement is also sent to the client as an email attachment. The workflow will also publish a message in the company's internal Slack channel to notify the team that a new vendor has signed up.

Fantastic software and very powerful tools for workplace... absolutely garbage customer service. Have reached out multiple times and only get automated responses repeating the same instructions over and over. Infuriating. Lowering by only one star because *thankfully* there's been no interruption of service or issues yet. I have no idea what it takes to get a live person.

Add-on started out working OK for my needs. However, after a month of use of the paid version, I began having majorly irritating issues, which included multiple workflows still running after they had been completely deleted. I submitted THREE help requests over the first month of use, none of which have been answered as of yet (and no, the replies did not go to spam). After I was finally able to find a phone number (which is listed anywhere on Digital Inspiration’s website), I attempted to call them twice. No one ever answered and there was no voicemail to leave a message.

We use Document Studio add-on for automating our registration flow for a church event. The Document Studio add-on is definitely affordable, has a friendly interface, it's easy to use and has rich documentation with different use-cases and examples. I got quite timely responses for my queries about technical support or license matters. Overall: a great product with a great and professional support, thus I highly recommend the Document Studio add-on.

This add-on has been a game changer for me. As a new user, I'm already seeing the benefits - it's saving me time, manual effort, and the need to program. The tool is incredibly versatile and useful for a wide range of applications. The support experience was also fantastic - when I ran into an issue, the team was able to help me solve it through a face-to-face screenshare session on Google Meet. Overall, I highly recommend this add-on!

Ok, so, I think is a good app, and I wanted to upgrade. But it has been nightmare getting the upgrade to work. First of all, when I purchased the upgrade, they did not send a license number. Moreover, when I told them they did not send the license number they told me that they did, but that I should check the spam. I spent *hours* checking the spam, but there was no license number sent or anything from Digital Inspiration. I kept telling them that they did not send it. Finally, they sent it. But once I got the license number, it did not work. I asked them to reset the license number to my hello@ email address but they reset it to another email address. I am about to give up on this. I like the app, but something is horribly wrong with their customer service and onboarding procedures. EDIT: So, it finally got resolved. I am increasing the rating from 1 star to 3 stars because it is a very good product. However, the onboarding at least in my instance was quite horrific. Hence, the average rating. Hopefully they can get this resolved. Then it would be 5 stars.

Before the update, I loved this extension! Unfortunately, after the update it became unreliable and difficult to navigate. After my paid subscription is up, I will not be renewing.

I have used Document Studio now for over two years, along with Typeform for assessments and quizzes. It has really been useful in being able to create and send custom pdf reports to clients. I have recommended it to over 30 of my Typeform clients to add into their solution mix and every person who does if extremely happy with the tool. I've also had a couple of issues with the tool that the support team has been able to resolve in very short order. Kudos to the team.
