Setting up Nintex

You have a shiney new install of Drawloop - what next. 

There is an nice new Admin wizard to guide you through the steps of setting up, including

  • Authorise 3rd party services
  • Business or Standard - see below
  • Set up Integrations (skip this for now).
  • Set up examples (not sure these are necessary) 
  • Set up any standard buttons (only Classic, so skip this - you will use the Lightning Component)
  • Org Wide Settings - Use files - use Upload for Pause to Edit. 
  • Add Users as Admins and Users

Upgrade to Loop Plus Business if needed. 

  • You want to send documents by workflow
  • You want to dynamically insert images in documents (eg logos) 
  • You want to do a quote document with Opportunity and product details.
  • Update Fields
  • Basically, you need Loop Plus Business. Go to the Pricing page https://www.nintex.com/partners/how-to-buy ignore everything until you get to the Document Generation Pricing and click on the PDF in the middle of the page noting Comparisons. 

Things I LOVE about DocGen

  • The Lightning Component - go try Conga in Lightning and you will come back to DocGen in no time. 
  • Conditional Loop Documents (Filters) - only display documents in the Component if the underlying record meets the criteria for that document (not sure this is actually working in the Component though). 
  • The ability to edit the merged documents before sending them.
  • Pause and Resume. 
  • The ability to add merge fields to existing attachments.  
  • The ability to attach documents from the record to the email. 
  • The ability to add numbered pages to all documents that go out in the email. 
  • Forms - so convenient if you don't need the data stored in Salesforce. 
  • Conditionally include documents in your merge - that is very cool! 
  • Unattended sending of documents. 
  • The pricing for automated sends (workflows, bulk runs) is so different to Conga, and so much more affordable! 

Issues

  • Whilst most of the Setup is now in Lightning the DocGen Packages Wizard is still in old Visualforce style. Surely that's an easy fix!
  • Still have to switch to Classic for bulk runs, but hopefully after Spring '18 they can fix that now. 

Things to Know

  • If you set up filters on the button ensure that all Packages for that object have the filter option set. 
  • If you are doing an automatic deployment, and have images, remember to add the image parameters to the Drawloop Next formula field - eg ";DeployType:autoemail;imageLogo=" & Logo__c" (Waiting)
