Understanding Document Generation:
Document Generation in Salesforce OmniStudio empowers businesses to automate the creation of documents like contracts, proposals, quotes, and more. This feature combines data from Salesforce records with predefined templates to produce polished, customized documents that save time and maintain consistency.
Business Scenario: Streamlining Proposal Creation
Consider a scenario where a sales team needs to generate personalized proposals for potential clients. Manually creating these documents is time-consuming and prone to errors. Document Generation in OmniStudio offers a solution by automating the process and ensuring that each proposal is accurate and tailored to the client's needs.
Steps to Implement Document Generation in Salesforce OmniStudio:
Step 1: Define Document Template
Create a template for the proposal using your preferred document authoring tool, such as Microsoft Word. Include placeholders for dynamic data that will be pulled from Salesforce records. These placeholders can be in the form of merge fields.
