Cflow - Create PDF, Word, Excel Documents

Cflow connects with Documentero to turn workflow events into ready-to-use documents. When a process is approved or a new record is created in Cflow, Documentero can automatically generate formatted files like contracts, reports, or invoices. The integration works through API or automation tools such as Zapier, Make, or n8n, making it easy to link workflow data with custom templates. This setup helps teams ensure that every approved process is documented consistently without extra manual work.
