Every time you open Word, hunt for the last invoice, swap out the client name, update the date, save, rename the file — sound familiar? That's exactly the kind of grind GJSDocs is built to eliminate. It's a document automation platform: you create a template once, connect your data, and the system handles everything from there.
Dynamic variables — the engine behind it all
At the core of GJSDocs is a simple but powerful idea: variables using
{variable.name} syntax. Drop them anywhere in your template — headings, tables, signatures. When a document is generated, variables are replaced with real data automatically. Variables come in two types. Global variables — like your company details — are set once and work across every document. Local variables can be overridden per document. That means no more editing the same fields across dozens of files.
// Example variables inside a template
Dear {client.name},
Please find attached invoice #{invoice.number} for the amount of {invoice.amount}.
Issued by: {company.name} | VAT: {company.vat}
Visual editor — no code, no limits
GJSDocs ships a full-screen, three-panel editor. On the left: your variables list — click to insert. Center: the live document canvas. Right: a block library with headings, text blocks, tables, columns, and page breaks.
Everything is drag-and-drop. Everything is customizable. Before exporting, switch on live-preview — the editor shows the finished document with real data substituted in, so there are no surprises.
- Drag-and-drop blocks: pages, columns, spacers, headings, tables
- Live preview: see the exact output before exporting, with real values
- Undo / redo: full history within the session
- Media library: insert logos and images directly into templates
Export to any format — one click
Hit Export and the file is ready. Variables are substituted at the moment of export. Supported formats: PDF, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, JSON.
PDF for sending to clients. DOCX if a counterpart needs to make edits in Word. HTML for embedding in your product. JSON for downstream processing in a pipeline. One template, five formats.
REST API: documents as part of your product
GJSDocs isn't just a manual editor. The entire feature set is available via REST API: create documents, manage variables, request finished files in any format. The API is included on every plan — including Starter — with no premium tier required.
POST /api/documents/{id}/export
Authorization: <your_api_key>
Content-Type: application/json
{ "format": "pdf", "variables": { "client.name": "Acme Corp", "invoice.amount": "$4,200" } }
// 200 OK → returns the generated PDF file
This means you can embed document generation into your own SaaS, CRM, e-commerce store, or Zapier workflow — with zero manual steps for the end user.
Ready-made integrations
- Airtable — use a base as your data source for bulk generation
- Google Sheets — connect a spreadsheet, generate a doc per row
- HubSpot — pull CRM data directly into document templates
- Zapier — automate any document workflow without writing code
Pricing without surprises
GJSDocs uses a flat monthly rate — not per-seat pricing. Add teammates and the bill doesn't multiply. On the document automation market, this is genuinely rare: most competitors charge per user, which means a team of five pays five times more for the same functionality.
GJSDocs solves a very specific pain: repetitive document work that eats hours every week. The visual editor, variable system, bulk generation, and API together make a complete tool that scales equally well for a solo freelancer and a team generating thousands of documents a month.
