Salesforce: How to Build a Document Template with Salesforce Fields & FormFiller

In this article we will show you how to take existing forms or documents that you use over & over again and convert them into digital templates.

These templates can include Salesforce fields! With two way data flow, you can push Salesforce information into your documents. Also collect new information from your customers and automatically update their Salesforce record effortlessly.

Step 1. Upload your Template Document to Salesforce

Click ‘Upload File’ in the Salesforce record where the templates relates to.

Step 2: Create & Design your New Template

Click ‘Start Secured Signing’ button in Salesforce object

Choose ‘Create New Template’

In the document list, choose the template file you have uploaded in step 1. Click start.

Start Designing your template:

Add Field(s)

By default, the integration grabs fields related to current Salesforce record.

Or you can insert Secured Signing fields:

• Text Box
• Multi Line Text Box
• Checkbox
• Radio Button
• Datepicker
• Drop Down List
• File Upload Button

More Field Settings

If you are using Salesforce fields, for each one you can choose if you want to allow:

• Show Salesforce Value – If this field has a value, do you want to push the data into the document.
• Edit Field- Can the invitee edit this data? If not, it will be a read only field.
• Update Salesforce Value – Do you wish to push new data or amended data back to Salesforce record.

• Form Logic – Validation: Decide the logic of filling in this template. For each field you add, is it a mandatory field and if yes, why who? The invitee or the sender? If you leave this blank, it means the document can be signed without having to input data into this field.
• Field Label – to help the invitee fill in the template, give each field a label. You can select from a list of common labels or type your own. Via the integration, the system picks up the Salesforce field label automatically.

Note: There is no limit to the number of fields you can use in a document template. You can also combine Salesforce fields with Secured Signing fields.
