How It Works

Automate document generation in 3 steps

Connect DocuQueue to Airtable and generate PDFs from your records in minutes.

STEP 01

Create your template

Build a document template in DocuQueue with merge fields like {{customerName}}. Use the visual editor, pick a pre-built IRS form, or upload an existing PDF.

STEP 02

Connect Airtable

Create an Airtable Automation with a trigger (record created or updated). Map your Airtable fields to DocuQueue template fields using point-and-click dropdowns.

STEP 03

Automate and store

Turn on the automation. DocuQueue generates the PDF and returns a URL. The PDF URL is written back to your Airtable record automatically.

Why DocuQueue

Built for Airtable users

Everything you need to automate document generation, without writing a single line of code.

No code required

Airtable Automations and Zapier handle the connection. You set up triggers and map fields using dropdown menus. No scripts, no webhooks, no developer needed.

Free plan compatible

Airtable Automations are free (100 runs/month). Zapier free tier supports two-step zaps. DocuQueue offers a free trial with 25 documents. Total extra cost: $0 to start.

Pre-built templates

Start with IRS forms (W-9, W-4, I-9, 1040) or use the visual editor to build custom templates. Upload existing PDFs and add merge fields in minutes.

API access

Need more control? Use the REST API directly from Airtable scripting or custom automations. Full programmatic access to templates and document generation.

Batch generation

Process hundreds of records at once. Use Zapier's looping or Airtable's batch automations to generate one PDF per record in a single run.

Webhook callbacks

Get notified when documents are ready. DocuQueue sends webhook callbacks to Zapier or your automation, so you can trigger follow-up actions like emails or Slack messages.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I generate PDFs from Airtable records?
Create a document template in DocuQueue, set up an Airtable Automation to trigger on record changes, and map your Airtable fields to the template. DocuQueue generates the PDF and returns the URL to your Airtable record automatically.
Do I need to write code to connect Airtable to DocuQueue?
No. The integration uses Airtable Automations and Zapier as connectors. Both are point-and-click tools. You set up triggers and map fields using dropdowns and menus, no coding required.
Can I use this on the Airtable free plan?
Yes. Airtable Automations are available on the free plan (limited to 100 runs per month). Zapier's free tier supports two-step zaps, which is enough for the DocuQueue integration. DocuQueue itself offers a free trial with 25 documents.
What document types can I generate from Airtable?
Any document you can design in DocuQueue: invoices, contracts, IRS forms (W-9, W-4, I-9, 1040), proposals, quotes, certificates, reports, and custom document types. Use pre-built templates or create your own with the visual editor.
How does the PDF URL get back into Airtable?
After DocuQueue generates the PDF, Zapier updates your Airtable record with the PDF URL. You can store it in a URL field, attach it to a file attachment field, or use it in automations to send via email or Slack.
Can I generate PDFs in bulk from multiple Airtable records?
Yes. Set your Airtable Automation to trigger when records are created or updated, and DocuQueue generates one PDF per record. For existing records, use Zapier's built-in search to find records and process them in a batch.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Start a free DocuQueue trial without a credit card. Use the Airtable integration from your first automation. 25 free documents included.
Can I use Airtable automations to send the PDF by email?
Yes. After DocuQueue generates the PDF, add a Zapier step to send it via Gmail, Outlook, or any email service. You can also use Airtable's built-in email actions to send the PDF URL directly from your automation.
