We are incredibly excited to announce the Box Doc Gen API, enabling customers to dynamically generate custom documents in custom and third party applications, eliminating the need to manually create, modify, and process mission-critical documents, which can can be tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone, resulting in significant productivity drains.
Box Doc Gen empowers teams to automatically generate custom, error-free documents in a matter of seconds — reducing turnaround times, mitigating risk, and eliminating manual data entry while improving operational efficiency. With just a few clicks, you will be able to leverage data from any data source, and instantly generate accurate, custom documents based on dynamic templates that handle everything from conditional formatting and dynamic tables to custom images and arithmetic calculations.
With the Box Doc Gen API, customers can:
- Leverage the Box Doc Gen Template Creator in Microsoft Word to create dynamic Box Doc Gen templates complete with conditional logic, calculations, dynamic formatting, tables, images, and more.
- Pre-populate data (including JSON data) from custom applications into Box Doc Gen templates.
- Use the Box Doc Gen API alone or in tandem with other Box Platform APIs, SDKs, and UI elements to power business processes with content centralized on the Box platform.
No matter where your teams work, generated documents will be automatically formatted based on the Box Doc Gen template and data sources. This will enable everyone to address multiple use cases without the headache of manually configuring documents, inputting data, and incurring time-consuming delays.
*Upon GA, Box Doc Gen and the Box Doc Gen API will be available as part of Box's new pricing plan option: Enterprise Advanced.
