Creating your first Document with WebMerge in Salesforce
For example, we are going to generate a Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement Document(NDA) from an Opportunity record using a Word document as a template. So first we need to setup this template and upload that to WebMerge. In the template we are going to collect information about the client and consultant details and the date of the NDA.
Once you have finished the template, then upload it to WebMerge. Click the New Document button from the document page in webmerge and enter the document name “NDA Document†and click the Next button. Choose the type of document template and then pick the file from your computer to upload.
After you upload the NDA template, you’ll be taken to the Settings tab where you can update things like the type of file that we want to generate as well as the name of the file. For this example, we’re going to generate a MS Word document and we are going to add the name or date of our client in the Name of the file.
Now, go to the WebMerge app. We are going to set up a new “NDA Mapping†so that the data is automatically mapped from our Opportunity object to the WebMerge document.
After you have done the mapping setup, go ahead and save it, then let’s jump over to the Opportunities page layout section. you need to add the webmerge button to the Opportunity page layout.
To add the button, click the Edit page layout and then click the buttons section on the next page. From there you should see a webmerge button. drag the button down onto the page layout of opportunity and save the layout.
If you want to generate a document from the Opportunity, go ahead and click the webmerge button on the page.
This will take you to a page that shows you all of the mappings you have attached to the Opportunity. Choose the one document you want to merge and click merge document.
After you click on Merge Now, this will automatically be added to your Opportunity record under the Notes & Attachments section. You may have to refresh the page if you don’t see the document.
Here’s the output of the NDA Document:
