Why Typeflow is a better alternative to DocsAutomator
Today, we compare two direct competitors: DocsAutomator and Typeflow. They both use Google Docs as a template tool. But what makes them different? Let's review both tools!
Typeflow vs. DocsAutomator: features
DocsAutomator uses Google Docs for templates. DocsAutomator chose GDocs. Unlike competitors, like Documint, it allows users to build templates with drag-and-drop builders. Many of you know how to use it, so it reduces the learning curve to learn DocsAutomator.
Then, it's easy to map the data between the Google Docs variables and the Airtable fields.
After that, DocsAutomator has many features that enable the seamless generation of PDFs. It lets you generate PDFs with line items and insert dynamic images. You can add conditional styling and values to fine-tune PDF generation. You can save the document as a Google Doc. Then, you can fine-tune it.
They also allow sending emails through their platform. So, there's no need to depend on Airtable Automation.
At Typeflow, our platform resembles DocsAutomator. Indeed, you need to use Google Docs to generate templates. Then you can:
- Map the data between Airtable fields and Google Docs variables.
- Generate a PDF with an automation script, so you can generate a PDF while you sleep.
- Put in place conditional values so the PDF hides or displays text based on criteria.
- Save the file as Google Docs so you can fine-tune it afterward.
- Use line items to build better files.
- Color grading for line items based on their value.
As you can see, we have roughly the same features. The main difference will be in the integration offered.
