Use Zoho Creator as a source for merge templates in Zoho Writer
Hello all!
We're excited to share that we've enhanced Zoho Creator's integration with Zoho Writer to make this combination even more powerful. You can now use Zoho Creator as a data source for mail merge templates in Zoho Writer.
Making more data from your favorite low-code development platform accessible in Writer will open new opportunities for users to create and send a wide variety of documents, manage business processes efficiently, and ensure security.
Features
Seamless integration with subform fields
Zoho Creator users can now seamlessly utilize subform fields in Zoho Writer with the merge task feature. This empowers businesses to create documents that are more data-driven and user-friendly, and reduces the manual effort required for document preparation.

Turn IDs or fields into barcodes
Another exciting feature is the ability to convert Creator IDs or fields into barcodes with help of the mail merge templates. Using barcodes enables efficient data tracking and retrieval, enhances accuracy and accessibility, and much more.

The mail merge templates feature will facilitate the seamless extraction data from Creator to Writer, and help you create a document for contracts. Within the Writer document, the fields, Product IDs, Alphanumeric or numeric fields can be shown can be visually represented as barcodes.
