Weaver is our 100% native document design & generation tool for Salesforce. With Weaver you can design beautiful templates, weave documents on the fly, & fully automate your document and email workflow.

ALL 100% NATIVE — nothing leaves the platform.

Today we’re going to showcase one of the key features of Weaver — dynamic rendering. With dynamic rendering you can have any part of your document, whether it’s text, images, tables, even reports, rendered based on your data in Salesforce.

Why Dynamic Rendering?

Nowadays customers expect an extremely high level of personable and customized communication that’s tailored to their interests or preferences.

Using dynamic content is one way that you can ensure the documents or emails you send are personalized based on the specific customer they are sent to.

In Salesforce you have a huge amount of data at your fingertips so you should utilize it as much as possible to keep your customers engaged.

Dynamic Content in Weaver

In Weaver, adding dynamic content is easy! Every single part of your design can be dynamically rendered based on Salesforce data. Text, images, tables, reports — you name it, it can be rendered dynamically.

From the Weaver Designer, when you click on any element you will be able to select the “Render Criteria” for that element.

You could have images change based on the type of customer you’re sending an email to, or maybe change the Terms & Conditions for your invoice when it’s a partner vs a customer!

Increase Engagement & Save Time

Think about all the templates your company uses today. How many of these are the same template with a few sentences altered or a slightly different T&C section?

A familiar sight for many Salesforce Admins

Using dynamic content also allows you to have a huge amount of variation of the same core template — and it saves you a lot of time internally.

Rather than letting your Salesforce Admin set up hundreds of different documents & emails to cater for small changes they could be focusing on just a handful of template with dynamic content.
