Generate contracts from Google Form responses
Service agreements are mostly the same text with different names, dates and fees. Capture those details in a Google Form and AutoDoc produces the contract: PDF for sending, Word or Google Docs for the occasional redline, and optional clauses added only when they apply.
| Service | {{Service}} |
| Monthly fee | {{Monthly Fee}} |
| Start date | {{Start Date}} |
| Payroll included | {{Includes Payroll}} |
How to automate contracts from Google Forms
Four steps, all inside Google Workspace. Output: PDF, Word (.docx).
Build the form
Copy the ready-made form, or create a Google Form with questions like these. The question titles become your placeholders.
| Question title | Type | Example answer |
|---|---|---|
| Client Legal Name | Short answer | Riverstone Dental Sdn Bhd |
| Client Address | Paragraph | 12 Jalan Example, Kuala Lumpur |
| Service | Dropdown | Monthly bookkeeping |
| Monthly Fee | Short answer | RM 1,500 |
| Start Date | Date | 2026-11-01 |
| Includes Payroll | Multiple choice | Yes |
Design the Google Docs template
Start from our Google Docs template (make a copy) or the .docx, or use your own. Type a placeholder wherever an answer should appear. It must match the question title exactly, in double braces. Built-ins such as {{_date}} and {{_responseId}} work too.
Connect it in AutoDoc
Open the form → Add-ons → AutoDoc. Pick the template and a Drive folder, choose PDF, Word (.docx), and set the file name pattern:
Agreement - {{Client Legal Name}} - {{_date}}Result: Agreement - Riverstone Dental Sdn Bhd - 2026-10-29.pdf
Add a conditional document (optional)
Conditions support AND / OR groups and 13 operators, including equals, contains, exists, matches regex, > and >=.
Submit, and it’s delivered
Every new response creates the document in seconds, then emails it:
Tips for contracts
- Keep optional clauses as separate templates with conditions instead of complex logic in one doc.
- Output Word as well as PDF for clients who negotiate.
- Pair with your e-signature tool if you need signatures.
Frequently asked questions
Is this legally binding?
AutoDoc fills your own contract text. Its enforceability depends on your wording and how it’s signed, so have a lawyer review your template.
Can I add e-signatures?
AutoDoc creates the document. Use an e-signature service to collect signatures.
Can I generate the same contract in two languages?
Yes. Add a second template with a condition on a language question.
