Automate PDF and Email Merge for Google Workspace

DocuMail Pro is a Google Workspace add-on that connects Google Sheets with Google Docs, Google Drive, and Gmail. It reads spreadsheet data to automate PDF and email merge to generate custom PDF documents and send personalized emails.

  • Gmail: We access Gmail permissions exclusively to compose and dispatch personalized outbound emails on your behalf as configured in your merge settings.
  • Data Privacy Guarantee: DocuMail Pro does not store, transfer, analyze, or sell your personal data or email contents to any external servers. All processing happens securely within your Google Workspace environment.

Install & Initiate Template Structure

  • Open Google Chrome, go to the Chrome Web Store (or Google Workspace Marketplace), search for DocuMail PRO, and click Install.
  • Open any new or existing Google Sheet. Go to the menu bar, locate DocuMail PRO, and click Initiate Template Structure.
  • Grant the required Google Workspace permissions (DocuMail PRO runs natively and does not store your sheet data on third-party servers).
  • Note: Mandatory engine columns will automatically be appended after your last data column to handle status tracking and prevent duplicate sends.

Create Dynamic Template in Google Docs/Slides

  • From the DocuMail PRO sidebar in Google Sheets, click Create Dynamic Doc from Sheet to launch the Template Editor.
  • Simple Variable Insertion: Position your cursor where you want data to appear in your document, select your variable (e.g., Client Name, Invoice Date) from the sidebar, and click Insert Variable.
  • Conditional Variables (Optional): Show or hide specific paragraphs or table rows dynamically:
    • Select whether the rule applies to a Paragraph or Table Row.
    • Pick a condition rule (e.g., Matches Exactly, Is Not Empty, Greater Than).
    • Define the comparison value and specify what should appear (Variable, Custom Text, or Blank).

Configure Workflow Type & Tag Mapping

  • Return to your Google Sheet and select your workflow type under Smart Template Engine:
    • PDFs Only: Ideal for batch SOPs or certificates.
    • Email Only: Ideal for simple text-based payment reminders.
    • PDF & Email: Full automation pipeline for documents + attachments.
  • Pick your master document template from Google Drive using Select Template Document.
  • Under Smart Tag Mapping, verify that template tags ({{Tag}}) match your spreadsheet headers. Match any mismatched headers manually using the dropdowns until all tag backgrounds highlight light green.

Set Dynamic File Naming & Drive Destination

Build dynamic PDF file names using tags for easy sorting and future audits.

  • Pro-Tip: Use the structure INV-{Invoice No}-{Client Name}.
  • Select your target Google Drive Destination Folder where generated files will be saved.

Configure Gmail Merge & Subject Line

  • Define recipient fields (To, CC, BCC, or Reply-To).
  • Add dynamic tags to your Email Subject Line (e.g., Urgent Payment Reminder: {Invoice Number} - {Company}).
  • Compose your personalized HTML email body in the editor using dynamic variable tags (e.g., Dear {Client Name}).

Set Filters, Triggers & Run

  • Validation Rules: Set conditions for when a row should process (e.g., Column Status equals YES or Not Empty).
  • Execution Mode: Choose Manual Run or set up Automated Time Triggers to process new rows automatically in the background.
  • Click Preview to verify tag replacements and layout. Once satisfied, hit Run Button or let the automated background engine handle the loop!
  • And your process to automate PDF and email merge is now set.
