Easily create a custom Conga Composer solution with the Document Automation Wizard. If you are new to Composer or want to create a customized template, the wizard guides you through the steps to configure a simple solution.

Important

Conga Composer Quick Start and the Document Automation Wizard are not currently supported (you will receive an error) in Lightning Experience with Clickjack Protection enabled. If clickjack protection is enabled, Conga recommends using Salesforce Classic for the best user experience.

To disable the Clickjack Protection

To create a solution using the Document Automation Wizard

  1. Navigate to the Conga Quick Start tab and select Launch Wizard on the Document Automation Wizard tile.
  2. Follow the wizard prompts.

Add Solution Details

Name your solution and select the Salesforce object you want to use as your master object, which is the object on which you want to build the Composer button and from where you want to gather master data.

Only the first 1000 records are displayed when you search for the Sample Record.

Add Data to a Solution

If your solution requires data related to the Salesforce Object you selected, you can create and add SOQL queries to access the related content. Locate a query and add an Alias to quickly identify that query in your solution. By default, the data from the Master object selected in the previous step is returned.

Proceed to the Add Templates to a Solution step to see if your required fields are available. If not, the fields are not available, simply return back to the Add Data to a Solution step.

Add Templates to a Solution

Select a template you want to be added to your solution. Choose any existing Conga Template and Conga Email Template, or upload your own Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files.

You can create or upload a new template, in addition to selecting an existing template from the search drop-down menu. The Document Automation Wizard also allows you to reference a formula field for Dynamic Template Selection. You can add up to 10 templates only. For more information, see Composer Templates. The Document Automation Wizard also allows you to create Conga Email Templates directly from the Wizard.

Existing Conga Email Templates cannot be searched and added via the wizard. You must add them from the Conga Solution Manager.

Behavior Settings

Assign common document behaviors to your solution. General behaviors include:

  • Background Mode - which allows users to bypass the user interface and go directly into document generation.
  • Generate Files - which allows you to convert your document to PDF and assign an output file name.
  • Post Merge Distribution - Activity Logging, Email distribution, eSignature, and Save a Copy.
  • Additional Behaviors - which allows you to add any parameter and value.

For more about these behaviors, see the Composer Parameter Guide.
