The problem
Copy-paste document production introduces errors that reach clients — last month's name, the wrong figure, a stale clause.
How it works
- Keep a Docs template with clearly marked placeholders.
- Copy the template into the matter folder for each instance.
- Replace placeholders through the Docs API with real values.
- Optionally export to PDF for sending or signature.
What changes
Documents that are correct by construction, produced in seconds.
Questions people ask
Can it handle letterhead?
Yes — put the letterhead in the template, including the header, and the generated copy inherits it.
Want this built?
This is a pattern we run in production. We will set up the delegation and build this on top of it — $500 per hour, most of it working the same day.
