Add a new merge template

Drive Connect merge templates can be added through the Template Builder tab. You have the option to copy from an existing Google doc or create a new document.

Drive Connect’s Document Generation feature is driven by merge templates that are published and available for use by users in your organization.

Admin Note: For a user to be able to create templates in the Template Builder tab, they must have the Template Builder permission set assigned.
