2. To finish configuring “Documents Activity Trigger, select the object where PandaDoc module is installed and click “Save”.

The following info is saved to Notes:

• {PandaDoc user} sent a document {Document name} to {Recipients}.
• Document {Document name} was viewed.
• Document {Document name} has been completed.
• Document {Document name} was signed by {Signer name}.
• Document {Document name} is waiting for payment.

Save PDF version of PandaDoc to “Attachments”

You can save PandaDoc document PDF as attachment under “Notes and Attachments” section in Salesforce.

To enable this feature in Salesforce, click on the “+” at the top and then click “PandaDoc Setup". Scroll down to “Document trigger settings”, enable “Save PDF version of PandaDoc to Files (new)” and click “Setup”.

Configure statuses that will trigger a PDF upload.

You can also configure Attachment name format. To do that, copy merge fields/tokens (e.g. [documentName])  suggested in the tooltip on the right and paste them into the “Attachment name format” field.

Once done – “Save” the configuration.

Update Opportunity Products when PandaDoc pricing table is updated

You can have Opportunity Products updated automatically when PandaDoc Pricing table in the document is changed.

To enable this feature In Salesforce, click on the “+” at the top and then click “PandaDoc Setup'. Scroll down to “Document trigger settings”, enable “Update Opportunity products”.

How the trigger works:

• The 2-way sync works only for Opportunity Products.
• Opportunity Products are updated once status of a PandaDoc document is changed.
• The following standard Opportunity Product fields can be updated automatically:
  • Date
  • Discount
  • Line Description
  • List Price
  • Product Code
  • Quantity
  • Sales Price
  • Subtotal
  • Total Price
• In the “Configure Pricing items” mapping (Step 1 in the hyperlinked guide) you need to make sure that SKU field is mapped – use product code field for mapping. 

If you have any feedback, please tell us more on our idea portal or email us at support@pandadoc.com.

You can also set up your custom trigger, but that requires advanced coding. To see examples of the code that you will need to add, please see the Salesforce Custom Trigger Guide attached at the bottom.
