      Using an Automated Template with Excel

      Automated Templates enable you to generate documents in bulk and instantly share them with others.

      How to use an Automated Template with Excel

      1. Select an automated template that you would like to use from your Documents page, or create a new one. To learn how to create an automated template, click here.
      2. Download the Excel file.

      If you're ready to use the template today: 

      • Click Use at the top right-hand corner of the document.
      • In the pop-up, click the blue link to download the blank Excel template.

      If you're not ready to use the template today but you'd like to download and fill the Excel file ahead of time:

      • Click File in the top toolbar.
      • Click the arrow beside the Automated template.

       How to fill in your Excel File

      • Open your template file in Excel, and fill out the columns accordingly (your automated fields will be the columns in blue at the far right of the template).
      • Each row represents a separate contract.

       Filling out Excel File

      • To include several email addresses or tags for the same contract, separate them using a comma (not a semicolon) in the corresponding columns.
      • Do not enter parties' email addresses as hyperlinks.
