How It Works
Get up and running with Google Docs automation in minutes

Map data to your template
Define which data fields populate which parts of your document. Autonoly handles substitution at runtime with real values.
Share and route automatically
Configure who receives the document, what permissions they have, and whether it enters an approval workflow — all automatic.
