Formstack has become a trusted partner!
We are saving time and resources by implementing this solution. I'm very pleased with Formstack Documents.
PROSFormstack's suite of products has revolutionized our daily operations. Formstack Documents, specifically, has allowed us to integrate and create documents digitally based on information gathered with Formstack Forms. The integration with Formstack Sign allows us to capture signatures on these documents and the Stash add-on is the best value in cloud based document storage I've encountered! Overall, I couldn't be more happy with Formstack's suite of products.
CONSNo real cons from me. The one piece that would be great is if a dynamic picture could be integrated. We use this product for our application process and it would be great if we could have the applicants upload a photo and that photo display (not the link to the photo) in the document that is created.
Reason for choosing Formstack Documents
We already used Formstack Forms and Sign so it was a natural choice for our needs.

An Impressive Document Automation Platform from Formstack Documents
Overall, Formstack Documents is a great document automation platform that provides a wide range of features and customization options. It is easy to use and allows users to quickly create and manage documents. However, the lack of a mobile app and support for third-party applications may be a deal breaker for some.
PROSFormstack Documents is an incredibly powerful and easy to use document automation platform. It allows users to quickly and easily create dynamic documents that can be used in any situation. The platform has a wide range of features, such as templates and integrations, that can be used to customize documents to perfectly meet any need. It also makes it easy to manage and share documents with colleagues and customers.
CONSAlthough Formstack Documents offers excellent features, there is currently no mobile app available for users on the go. This can be a bit of a hassle for those who need to access their documents quickly. Additionally, the platform does not offer any support for third-party applications, so users may need to look elsewhere for more customization options.
Reasons for switching to Formstack Documents
Formstack Documents stands out from its competitors for its wide range of features, such as templates and integrations, which allow users to customize their documents to meet any need. Additionally, its easy-to-use interface makes it a breeze to create, edit and share documents with colleagues and customers. Finally, its advanced security features ensure that documents and the data they contain remain secure.
Vendor Response
Angelo, Thank you - we truly appreciate your review. I'll make sure to pass that feedback about our integrations to our product team for review. Thank you!

A little bit complicated to create documents with salesforce
Easy change of document layouts and integration to other tools, especially salesforce and the divergence of documents to create
CONSProcess efficiency for standard processes. For users it does need too many steps to create and wait for the created documents

Makes creating a professional looking form such as invoices so much easier to do saving hours.
Saves so much time.
PROSA great time saver creating custom built forms such as invoices, contracts a database or from a spreadsheet. Webmerge has saved my company many hours of work. The support and response is excellent. It is extremely good value for money.
CONSCurrently not able to automatically create multiple line invoices using Zapier. I still have to download a spreadsheet and manually upload to Webmerge. It will only work automatically if there is 1 line on data or say a contract where it just picks up the data items. It still requires development with Zapier to accept multiple lines. I can only use 1 login for everything which means I can not allocate certain merges to logins

Great way to automate document creation
The software is easy to use and very robust and powerful. We did run into one issue where some internal code with Microsoft Word was creating errors, and their customer service team worked tirelessly until we figured it out.
PROSThis was the only software I found (after exhaustive research) that could do everything I wanted, namely, create a fully customized document (using not just field filling, but logic expressions) using data input from a form on my website.
CONSThey limit both the number of documents you can have in a plan and the number of document creations (and if one document is created and both emailed and stored in the stash, it counts as two creations). So you get bumped up into the next expensive price tier without doing much.
Reason for choosing Formstack Documents
Formstack was the only one that did what I needed it to do.

Very useful tool
Great - once we finalized our document forms, it's a set it and forget it tool. The documents are immediately generated and in the hands of the appropriate recipients. It saves a ton of manual work.
PROSWe use formstack docs integrated with Smartsheet. It's very useful and time saving in creating automatic communications based on Smartsheet submissions.
CONSThe set-up process was harder than expected to get the documents just right.

Webmerge is a gem
Our company has been using webmerge for a few years now. We use it for all of our reporting. The implementation for automated text assembly is extremely easy to use. We also use it to generate tables in documents and insert figures. All of these features are seamless with our Podio project management system now. Nothing but excellent things to say about Webmerge!
PROSEasy of use with Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel, Powerpoint). Seamless integration with Podio and Zapier.
CONSComplex table generation is somewhat cumbersome, but honestly haven't found a better cloud solution unless you're willing to set up a server and apply custom code.

Webmerge is a solution to a lot of administration issues for non-profits like ourselves.
Savings in time, administration resources and the ability to merge Webmerge with Zapier to handle a lot of our donation receipts, subscriptions and invoicing easily and quickly.
PROSCreating a word document and then using zapier and webmerge has saved us time and money. And saving money is vital for non-profits!!
CONSReally don't have any cons apart from maybe the new pricing structure. A tier for smaller users would encourage more companies to try webmerge.

Outstanding solution for merging data into your documents
I have been looking for a way to get the data from the gravity forms and merge it to the excel docs, based on the conditional rules; then convert it to PDF and email customer a copy combined with other documents that I have stored in another location, all in one request. Well, I found it - WebMerge. I love how it combines flexibility allowing for rather complex design but with very logical and user friendly interface. In addition to that - support for this product is just incredible. I so appreciated that I quickly got help when I really needed it. Sincerely and strongly recommend!
PROSIt's capabilities, it met all the needs in one software, from merging, to combining with other documents, to even placing a delay on delivery. I only have two months of web designing experience and I was able to configure and accomplish my goal. Not that it's very easy to use but it's logical, and it's the matter of following the rules. I really appreciate the outstanding support of this product.
CONSIt takes time to test it and to get your document to look right after PDF conversion from Excel. It's not so much as a problem but expect it to be a time consuming process of setting it up right.

We use this software as an extension to Pipedrive to quickly generate documents.
Fast and systematic document generation, high versatility along with very nice integration with other software or web services.
PROSWe like the strong versatility of this software thanks to its ability to fully read the data provided by the API of the software it integrates with. The conditional formatting of the documents is really thorough, allowing us to make elaborate documents for which the information is adapted to the user. It requires very low maintenance once your setup is done. Delivery options are vast and very well made: for instance, you can deliver your documents to Dropbox, which is neat. The data routing feature is also amazing to quickly discernate which document template should be used based on a set of predefined conditions.
CONSThe triggering and delivery behavior can sometimes be erratic depending on how quick the user does the trigger event for document generation. However, this is minor and the problem rarely manifests itself. Otherwise, I did not find anything impacting my workflow negatively with this web service.

Innovation and Collaboration Merge
It is great to see companies like WebMerge growing in stature. Their interface is extremely easy and their product fulfils an important niche area of the market, providing the ability to automate reports from external databases. My program management and contract management tools, developed in Knack are greatly enhanced by the ability to utilise the WebMerge templates and produce reports for my customers. This is truly an example of collaboration between multiple tools to make interoperability the focus. Great job guys, keep it up!
PROSIt provides the ability to build dynamic reports.
CONSCan sometimes be complex to understand if you are not a programmer. I think more examples are needed.

Great product. Easy to use. Very easy to create templates (MS Word). Excellent support.
The ability to generate templated letters from out information system (salesforce). We also managed to get webmerge to turn out some reports that Salesforce itself could not handle.
PROSIt is very easy to setup simple templates from a word document. The support is personal and superb. Replies have been fast (especially considering the difference in timezones), accurate and helpful. The delivery option for merged documents are many and makes this product incredibly flexible.
CONSSome of the very complex templates I had to create involved some coding (which I quite like, but it might put some people off). However with the excellent support that comes with this product I suspect anyone can do this.

Easy integration with Airtable
Formstack's customer service is fantastic. They are responsive, kind, professional, and take the time to understand customer needs in order to provide solution support.
PROSIntegration with Airtable works really well. The customizable delivery options offered makes a big difference. Having the ability to insert field tags into the delivery email template subject line and email body is very helpful. Customer service is fantastic.
CONSThe price tiers are the most disappointing aspect of the product. The 3x jump from the first tier to the second tier is hard to accept as justified from the customer side. There are lots of different price models / charts on the web that creates confusion - most likely for the different features/products offered by Formstack, but it causes perception to be less than polished. The UI/UX could use some work, but it is easy to use and is well organized.

Good integrations make streamlining document creation very straightforward
I'm using Webmerge to create PDFs and word documents using data lifted from Infusionsoft and Formstack. Deliveries are fast, setting up new documents is easy and the integrations were straightforward too (I'm using Zapier for the Infusionsoft integration). The direct integration with formstack was really handy.
PROSGreat integrations, easy document creation.
CONSGets pricey once you're over 2,000 deliveries per month. The jump from $250 to $750 dollars per month is scary.

Love this service!
Webmerge was a godsend. I build websites I discovered Webmerge when I had a client that wanted to take website form data and merge it into his Word Document - something that is not an easy task if you have to code it yourself, and setup a database to save all the form entries. I use WebMerge in conjunction with Formstack and accomplishing the task is a piece of cake. I was so pleased with it - I wrote a little post about it... complete with a video showing a sample... check it out if you want to see it in action. http://proadinsight.com/form-stack-and-web-merge-an-amazing-combination/ If you are considering this product - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.

Great product and even better customer service
WebMerge is really handy to use and the performance is great. The only reason for 4 out of 5 stars in the "ease of use" is that from time to time you need to know some "tipps and tricks" and very little coding while webmerging with office products like Excel. Nevertheless the customer service by Jeremy is more than great! He answers within hours and is really eager to help you out.
