Google Sheets add-on

Turn spreadsheet rows into polished Google Docs and PDFs without building a custom document pipeline.

DocForge is for teams that already operate in Google Sheets and need reliable document generation on top. It maps row data into templates, checks the setup before launch, and produces output that is ready for review, filing, or follow-up email workflows.

Best fitOffer letters, certificates, intake documents, approval packets, and any workflow that starts from a structured Google Sheet.

Core features

DocForge is built for operational document work, not just one-off mail merge experiments. It focuses on visibility, repeatability, and clean outputs for every row you process.

Template-driven generation

Use a Google Docs template as the source layout and populate it with sheet data using merge fields your team can understand.

Preflight before generation

Catch missing templates, missing data, or mapping problems before you launch a bigger run.

Docs and PDF output

Generate editable Google Docs, exportable PDFs, or both depending on the review and delivery workflow you need.

Batch-friendly operations

Run multiple rows from the same sheet setup so the document workflow stays consistent from record to record.

Typical use cases

Internal paperwork

Generate request summaries, approvals, and handoff documents from structured intake sheets.

Education and program operations

Create certificates, reviewer packets, or student-facing documents from response data without manual copy and paste.

Sales and onboarding handoffs

Turn accepted records into branded documents that downstream teams can review or send.

Document preparation at scale

Keep naming, file structure, and template usage consistent across a recurring batch process.
