With CQG, you can specify how the merged output file will be delivered or where it will be stored after launching the button. However, Conga Trigger runs in the background in response to Salesforce workflow rules, so you must specify in advance how Conga Trigger will deliver the output files.

You do this by using a QMode parameter in the Conga Trigger formula field.

The parameter name remains constant (&QMode=) but its value changes depending on the desired delivery method (e.g. “Attachments” for storing a file in Notes & Attachments, “SendEmail” for emailing).

You can use only one QMode parameter per Conga Trigger solution.
