Merge Fields

Learn how to map Google Form responses to placeholders in your templates and enable dynamic images or QR codes.

Mapping Form Fields to Placeholders

  • All placeholders are auto-detected from your template.
  • Each tag (e.g. {{Full Name}}, {{Email}}) maps to a form question.
  • If no match is found, placeholders can be manually mapped.

Mapping System & Quiz Fields

  • Quiz Scores: {{Reached Score}}, {{Reached Percentage}}
  • Timestamps: {{Timestamp}}
  • Submission ID: {{Document ID}}

Syncing Your Mapping

If you add a {{tag}} while the sidebar is open, it will not appear automatically.

Click the Refresh / Sync icon to re-scan the template without losing existing mappings.


Merging Images from File Upload Questions

  1. Add a File Upload question to your form.
  2. Map it to an image placeholder like {{Photo}}.
  3. Images are automatically scaled to fit the placeholder.
🔐 Uploaded files must have “Anyone with the link can view” access.
File Upload Example

Advanced Image Formatting

  • Docs: Place tags inside table cells to control size.
  • Slides: Place tags in text boxes to preserve aspect ratio.

QR Code Generation

  1. Select a field to encode.
  2. Insert {{QR}} in your template.
  3. A unique QR is generated per document.

QR Code Customization

  • Combine static + dynamic values:
    https://mysite.com/verify?id={{Document ID}}
  • QR size is controlled by the font size of the {{QR}} tag.

Handling Checkbox Fields

Multiple checkbox selections are merged as a comma-separated list.

💡 Ensure enough space in your template to accommodate long values.


Pro Tip

  • {{Full Name}}
  • {{Date}}
  • {{Photo}}
  • {{QR}}

Text, images, and QR codes can be merged together — fully automated.


Proper Merge Field configuration ensures accurate, personalized, and verifiable documents every time.
