Short answer

How can I automate PDF creation with my AI?

Your AI analyzes your data, checks it against your Documint templates, and triggers the generation process. You get finished PDF files without manual data entry or formatting. This workflow handles everything from variable auditing to final file production.

The results of the connection

Where your data ends up

What happens once your AI takes control of the document process.

VALIDATION

Template readiness

The AI checks your template variables against your data. You get a clear view of what information is missing before you try to build a file.

PRODUCTION

Instant PDF creation

Your AI sends the finalized data to Documint. The system generates the actual PDF document based on your specific layout.

TRACKING

Generation status

You can pull specific details about any document that was just created. This allows your AI to confirm the file is ready for use.

HUMAN

Manual oversight

You remain in control of the template design and the final data approval. The AI handles the heavy lifting, but you own the templates and the final decision to trigger a build.

The workflow

What your AI does when data arrives.

The AI moves from analyzing requirements to delivering a finished file.

  1. Audit template requirements

    The AI looks at your target template to see exactly which variables are needed. It compares this list to your available data to ensure nothing is missing.

    get_template_variable_audit
  2. Trigger document creation

    Once the data is ready, the AI instructs Documint to build the document. This turns your raw inputs into a formatted PDF.

    create_new_generation
  3. Verify the output

    The AI checks the status of the request to make sure the file was built successfully. It retrieves the specific details of the new generation.

    get_generation_details
  4. Confirm completion

    The AI reports back to you that the PDF is ready. You can then move that file into your next workflow step.

    get_generation_details

FAQ

How the automation behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI design the PDF layout for me?

    No. You must create the templates within Documint first. The AI only maps data to the templates you have already built.

  • 02

    Will the AI delete my existing templates?

    No. The tools only allow the AI to audit, create, and check generation details. It has no capability to delete or modify your templates.

  • 03

    Can I use this to update an existing PDF?

    No. The current tools are for creating new generations. To change a document, you would need to trigger a new generation with updated data.

  • 04

    Does the AI need to see my Documint login?

    No. You connect via Vinkius, which manages the connection securely. Your AI client never sees your Documint password.

  • 05

    Can the AI send the PDF directly to an email address?

    No. The AI can trigger the creation and confirm the file is ready, but sending the file to an external email address requires a separate tool or step.
