Uploading XLSX
Updating XLSX

Types of Merge Fields
Docupilot supports a variety of merge fields for you to use.
Tokens (Merge Field)
Condition (if/else)
Iterating inside a cell
Tables
Tokens (Merge Field)
These are simple fields embraced in {{}}. When you provide your custom data, Docupilot will replace these fields with the data. For example {{email}}, {{clientname}}, {{company_name}}.
If you want to group your fields you can use dot(.) while defining the tokens. For example your client has first name & last name, you can write the tokens as {{client.first_name}}, {{client.last_name}}.
Condition (if/else)
You can use condition to show or hide contents based on your data. Example If you are creating an invoice you want display CASH if the payment_mode is cash, else if the payment_mode is card you want to show CARD.
1
{{#if payment_mode "==" "cash"}}
2
CASH
3
{{else if payment_mode "==" "card"}}
4
CARD
5
{{else}}
6
Please Insert preferred Mode of Payment{{/if}}
Copied!
Note : The if/else statement works only when incorporated in a single cell (i.e. the whole statement shall end in a single cell in excel sheet).
You can use the condition in three ways
if statement.
if - else statement.
if - else if -  else statement.
Below are few examples :
Example
Description
{{#if payment_status}} 
{{/if}}
if payment_status is not empty or blank.
{{#if payment_status "==" "paid"}} 
{{/if}}
if payment_status equal to paid (case-sensitive).
{{#if payment_status "!=" "paid"}}
 {{/if}}
if payment_status not equal to paid (case-sensitive).
{{#if price ">" 1000}}
 {{/if}}
If price greater than 1000
{{#if price ">=" 1000}} 
{{/if}}
If price greater than and equal to 1000
{{#if price "<" 1000}} 
{{/if}}
If price lesser than 1000
{{#if price "<=" 1000}} 
{{/if}}
If price lesser than 1000
{{#if payment_status "contains" "paid"}}
{{/if}}
If payment status contains paid
{{#if payment_status "not_contains" "paid"}}
{{/if}}
If payment status does not contains paid
{{#if status "in" "open, on-hold"}}
{{/if}}
This is similar to logical operator OR.
If status is open or on-hold.
{{#if status "not_in" "open, on-hold"}}
{{/if}}
This is similar to inverse logical operator OR.
If status is not open or on-hold.
{{#if status "==" "open"}}{{#if priority "==" "high"}}
{{/if}}{{/if}}
This is similar to logical operator AND.
If status is open AND priority is high.
Hiding Empty Sections & Lines
You can use IF to hide sections/lines that do not have a value.Hide section example
1
Name: {{name}}
2
{{#if address}}Address: {{address}}{{/if}}
Copied!
In the above example when the Address is empty, the Address section will be removed.Hide empty lines example
1
{{name}}{{#if address}}
2
{{address}}{{/if}}
3
{{city}}{{country}}
Copied!
In the above example when the Address is empty, the Address empty line will be removed to achieve better document formatting.
