DRTE: document generation and e-signature inside Salesforce

DRTE: Your Salesforce-Native Document Powerhouse

What is DRTE? DRTE turns your Salesforce data into professional documents (MSAs, invoices, contracts) using dynamic templates, then routes them for secure e-signature, all without leaving Salesforce.

🚀 Step 1: Document Generation

Generate documents from live Salesforce data using dynamic templates.

  1. Individual Records: Open any Salesforce record and trigger the DRTE component (available via LWC, Visualforce, or Flow).
  2. Dynamic Data Populating: DRTE uses SOQL queries to pull real-time data into your document, ensuring accuracy.
  3. Format Selection: Choose your output format: PDF, Google Doc, or MS Word.

Pro Tip: Mass Merge & Bulk Automation. Need to generate 500 invoices at once? Use the Native List View to select multiple records. DRTE handles the heavy lifting through background batch processing, so you don't have to wait.

✍️ Step 2: Setting Up E-Signatures

Once your document is ready, initiate a secure signing workflow directly from the record.

  1. Select Signers: Add internal and external recipients.
  2. Define the Sequence: Use Sequential E-Signature so the document reaches the CEO only after the Account Manager has signed.
  3. Choose Signing Style: Signers can draw their signature or use the typed "named signing" feature.

🛠 Step 3: Customization & Branding

Ensure every touchpoint looks like it came from your team, not a third-party vendor.

  1. On-Brand Templates: Customize layouts, fonts, and logos to match your corporate identity.
  2. Rich Text Edits: Need a quick change? Edit content in rich text fields; edits are stored in Salesforce for future access.
  3. Refresh Content: Use the "Refresh" button to pull the latest database values into your draft before sending.

🔒 Step 4: Security & Final Delivery

DRTE automates the "boring stuff" so you can focus on closing deals.

💡 Why DRTE?

"By replacing fragmented, manual workflows with a single native solution, teams reduce training time and eliminate the security risks of sending data to external third-party servers."
