Do you build Word add-ins or standalone document software?

Both. I build in-Word automation with an Office.js add-in (content controls, clause insertion) and server-side document generation with OpenXML — whichever fits how your team works.

Can it merge data from our CRM or database into documents?

Yes. The automation pulls fields from your CRM, database, or API and merges them into branded templates so every document is populated and consistent.

Does it handle approvals and e-signature?

Yes — workflow automation development includes routing through approval steps and out to DocuSign or Adobe Sign, with status tracked end to end.

Can you automate Google Docs instead of Word?

Yes. If your documents live in Google Workspace I build the same generation and automation with Google Apps Script.

Will the output match our existing templates and branding?

Automation is built around your existing templates, styles, and brand using content controls and defined layouts. Output is checked against agreed sample documents, with fidelity depending on the template and generation method.

Automation

Document Automation Software

Zia Ul QamarMicrosoft 365 & Office Add-in DeveloperAbout GitHub LinkedIn X

Document automation uses templates, structured data, add-ins, and workflow integrations to generate or process documents with less manual assembly. It is intended for teams that create recurring contracts, proposals, reports, or approval packages in Word or server-side systems.

What I build

What is included in document automation?

Word add-in development

Word add-ins using Office.js content controls for clause insertion, contract review, and one-click document generation inside Word.

Template & document generation

Custom Word automation that merges your data into branded templates — server-side DOCX via OpenXML or in-app — no more copy-paste.

Workflow automation development

Routing documents through approvals, e-signature (DocuSign/Adobe Sign), and status tracking so nothing stalls in an inbox.

AI-assisted review

Optional AI to summarize, flag risky clauses, and extract fields for faster, more consistent review.

Problems this solves

What problems can document automation solve?

Legal or ops teams assembling contracts and proposals by copy-paste.
Inconsistent output because everyone starts from a slightly different template.
Documents stuck for days in an email approval chain.
The same client data re-keyed into every new document.

Example use cases

What does document automation look like in practice?

Clause library in Word

A Word add-in that inserts approved, correctly formatted clauses and fills metadata via content controls.

Proposal generation

Server-side generation that merges CRM data into a branded DOCX proposal in seconds instead of an afternoon.

Approval + e-sign flow

Generated documents routed through approval and out to DocuSign, with status tracked automatically.
