Document management use cases

Document Management for every Salesforce cloud

Document Management auto-creates Salesforce folders, applies access controls to every share, and keeps files moving to and from your own storage automatically.

Loved and trusted
Document automation for Salesforce

Built around the storage you already govern

Rated 4.9★ on AppExchange.

Access follows the team

Storage permissions mirror Salesforce team membership: join the deal team, gain the folder; leave, lose it automatically.

Documents, generated from the record

Generate contracts, quotes and proposals straight from Salesforce merge fields, with folders created automatically for every deal.

Share and collect files with no login required

A record's Dataroom link lets an outside partner view shared folders and upload files back, without a Salesforce or storage account of their own.

Every file, visible on the record

The record-page widget shows every linked file from your own storage, with upload and sharing controls built in, without leaving Salesforce.

Document management by cloud

Any cloud, any use case, one solution

Document Management runs one automation engine that behaves differently per cloud: moving folders in Sales Cloud, filing attachments in Service Cloud, and sharing files in Experience Cloud.

Sales Cloud document automation

The moment a Lead converts, Sales Cloud moves its folder into the new Account and starts generating quotes and contracts straight from Salesforce data, so a rep never rebuilds a document or a folder by hand.

  • Move a Lead's folder into its Account folder automatically the moment it converts
  • Generate contracts, quotes and proposals directly from Salesforce merge fields
  • Create templated, nested folders automatically for every deal
  • Move files to your own external storage through Salesforce Files Connect

Service Cloud file automation

The instant Email-to-Case fires, Service Cloud files the attachment straight into that case's own folder, no manual sorting required, and the same automation moves files to and from your external storage as the case needs them.

  • File a case's email attachments into its own folder automatically when Email-to-Case fires
  • Share and request sensitive documents through secure datarooms
  • Move files between Salesforce and your external storage automatically
  • Pull external files into Salesforce and organize them without manual sorting

Experience Cloud file sharing

An Experience Cloud user requests a document, and Document Management tracks every link out and every file back, so sharing with a partner never leaves a gap nobody can see.

  • Collect documents directly from clients or partners through Experience Cloud
  • Share collateral with experience users through tracked, revocable links
  • Turn on automatic sharing for every relevant Experience Cloud record
  • Sort form-based file submissions into the right folder automatically
Document Management use cases

Every folder move starts with a Salesforce event

Not by cloud, and not by industry. By the exact moment in your Salesforce data that fires the automation.

Folder structure builds itself

Account creation triggers a templated, nested folder structure automatically.

The folder moves with it

A Lead's folder relocates into its new Account folder the moment it converts, nothing left to refile by hand.

The folder renames itself

Update a record's name in Salesforce and its storage-side folder name follows automatically.

A record gets created from it

Dropping a file into a record-linked folder can create a custom object record automatically from what arrived.

The attachment finds its case

An email attachment files itself into that case's own folder the instant Email-to-Case fires.

Folders nest to match

An Opportunity's folder nests inside its Account folder automatically, mirroring the object relationship.
