Quickstart

This guide walks through generating your first document end-to-end — from creating an account to generating your first PDF or image.

1. Create an account

Sign up at automette.com. You'll land in the dashboard ready to go.

2. Pick a template from the library

Open Template Library from the sidebar. The library has a dozen starter templates — invoices, certificates, social posts, banners, payslips. Click any one.

The library covers common business documents — invoices, certificates, payslips, social images, and more. If you need something different, you can build your own template from scratch or upload a Word document and use it as a starting point.

3. Open the template

Click the template you just created. You'll see the design preview and options for how to use it:

• Edit the design — change layout, copy, colors
• Generate a document — fill the field form by hand
• Generate from CSV — bulk-render one document per row
• Share a form — collect data with a public form
• Set up an automation — trigger from Sheets, Airtable, or Zapier
• Use via API — render from your own code

4. Generate your first document

Click Generate a document. Fill in the fields shown on the right. Click Generate — your PDF or image is ready.

That's it. The document shows up in History with a permanent link.

What's next

• Core concepts — understand how Automette works before going further.
• Bulk generate from CSV — render dozens or thousands of documents from a spreadsheet.
• Share a form — let other people fill in the fields and trigger a render themselves.
• Use the API — render from your own backend with a few lines of code.
