New Flowyer DocFiller: Automatic Word Document Filling on Windows, Mac, and Browser
When preparing a contract, power of attorney, or submission, it is often not the drafting of the legal text that takes the most time. Frequently, it is necessary to repeatedly search for, copy, and paste the data of the client, the opposing party, and other participants in the case into the appropriate sections of the document.
Name, birth details, address, company name, headquarters, registration numbers, and other information are transferred from one system to another. This is not only time-consuming but also poses a risk of errors: a single typo, outdated data, or a value pasted in the wrong place can necessitate a review and correction of the document.
The new Word add-in from Flowyer, the Flowyer DocFiller, simplifies this process.
Data from Flowyer, directly into the Word document
With Flowyer DocFiller, the data of clients, opposing parties, and other participants recorded in Flowyer can be directly inserted into prepared Word templates.
To fill the document, there is no need to individually search for, copy, and paste the data into the appropriate places. The add-in automatically places the data related to the selected person, company, or other participant into the document.
The filled fields appear highlighted, making it easy to review which parts of the document have been automatically filled. This allows for quicker verification while reducing the risk of errors from manual data entry.
Reusable Word templates
Document templates can be created in the system where the location of automatically filled data can be predetermined.
Such templates can be prepared for:
- contracts,
- powers of attorney,
- declarations,
- data sheets,
- submissions,
- client information sheets,
- and other documents regularly used by the office.
The template only needs to be properly prepared once. Subsequently, new documents can be filled with the data of the case and its participants.
This allows the law firm to retain its own familiar documents, wording, and formatting while automating a significant portion of repetitive data entry.
Not only client data can be used
In documents prepared during legal work, it is often necessary to include not only the client's data but also the data of the opposing party, the authorized representative, the contact person, the witness, or other participants in the case.
Therefore, Flowyer DocFiller can handle not only client data. When filling the document, various participants related to the case can be selected whose data we wish to use in the given fields.
This is particularly useful for documents where the data of multiple individuals or companies need to be consistently displayed, possibly in multiple locations.
Data recorded in custom forms can also be incorporated
For document preparation, the basic data of the client or participants in the case is often insufficient.
For example, a real estate purchase agreement may require data on the property, the purchase price, the payment schedule, and other terms of the transaction. For company formation, information on the planned company name, headquarters, business activities, ownership ratios, or officers must be recorded.
With the Flowyer Custom Forms module, the office can create its own data request forms. The completed form can be shared with the client or other parties via a single link, and no Flowyer account is required for completion. The responses received appear in a structured format directly in Flowyer.
Flowyer DocFiller can also incorporate data recorded in custom forms into the appropriate fields of Word templates. Thus, not only personal and company data recorded in Flowyer but also uniquely requested information related to the case can automatically appear in the document to be prepared.
This enables a coherent workflow from data collection to document preparation.
How can it work in practice?
When preparing a real estate transaction, the office can send the client a custom data request form designed for the real estate transaction.
The seller and buyer can provide, among other things, on the form:
- their personal data,
- the property data,
- the purchase price,
- the payment schedule,
- the planned date of possession,
- and other essential terms of the transaction.
The form can even request documents and images, allowing the client to directly upload files of their documents or energy certificate.
The data from the completed form is received in Flowyer, and then DocFiller places the appropriate information in the prepared Word contract. The attorney can then focus on the professional review, supplementation, and finalization of the document.
A similar process can be established for:
- company formation documents,
- powers of attorney,
- client due diligence documents,
- declarations,
- corporate legal documents,
- debt management documents,
- or any document for which the office requests data in a structured format in advance.
Adaptable to the office's own workflows
Custom forms can contain different types of fields. They can include short and long text fields, number and date fields, dropdown lists, checkboxes, email addresses, and file upload options.
This allows the office to determine what information it wants to request in advance for preparing a specific document type.
Not every law firm needs to use the same data request process or document structure. The forms and Word templates can be tailored to the office's own area of expertise, documents, and internal workflows.
Windows, Mac, and Word Online
One of the most important innovations of the new Flowyer DocFiller is its wide compatibility.
The add-in can be used on:
- a Windows computer,
- a macOS computer,
- and in the browser-accessible Microsoft Word.
In a Windows environment, the add-in can be installed from Microsoft Office 2013 onwards.
This allows office staff to use the same document filling process on different operating systems and Word environments. This can be particularly advantageous in offices where not all staff work on the same type of computer, or where both desktop Word and the Microsoft 365 browser version are used.
Available on Microsoft Marketplace
Flowyer DocFiller is now available on Microsoft's official app store. The add-in can be directly installed into Microsoft Word from the Flowyer DocFiller Microsoft Marketplace page.
Its use requires an active Flowyer subscription and a Flowyer user account.
Less copying, more time for professional work
Automatic document filling does not replace professional document review. It helps reduce the time spent on repetitive administrative data entry.
With Flowyer DocFiller:
- manual copying and pasting can be reduced,
- the risk of typos and data mix-ups can be mitigated,
- the office's document templates can be used more consistently,
- repetitive structured documents can be prepared more quickly,
- client data already recorded in Flowyer can be directly placed into the document,
- information requested on custom forms related to the transaction can also be automatically incorporated into Word templates.
The goal is not merely to save a few clicks. For frequently used contracts, powers of attorney, or declarations, time can be saved on each document, which can become noticeable in the office's overall operations over time.
The familiar Word, enhanced with Flowyer data
Word remains one of the most important document editing tools for law firms. Flowyer DocFiller connects this familiar work environment with the data recorded in Flowyer and requested through custom forms.
Document editing, formatting, and professional finalization continue to take place in Word. The add-in assists in the quick and consistent placement of data, reducing the time spent on routine administration.
The new Flowyer DocFiller connects case management and Word document editing from data collection to document preparation – in Windows, Mac, and browser-based Word environments alike.
