FileMaker PandaDoc Integration

Sometimes you need to send a document to be signed virtually. Integrating PandaDoc with your
FileMaker solution makes this an easy task. PandaDoc has a robust API that allows you to create, send,
and receive documents digitally using the functionality of your FileMaker system to manage the
process. Our guide will show you how you can begin sending documents quickly and easily,
streamlining your e-signature process. 

PandaDoc Setup
Before you start sending documents, you will need to create a PandaDoc account. You can visit their
webpage to create an account. Once logged in, PandaDoc will have templates you can use or you can
create your own custom templates.

From here, you will want to go to the PandaDoc settings and navigate to the Integrations section.
Scroll to the bottom of this page and nd the API settings. Click the toggle to turn on the API and
choose between a sandbox or production environment. For this example, you will be using a sandbox
environment to test the integration and send a sample document. Click on the green "Generate
Sandbox Key" button to get your API key.

Listing Templates
Now that you have your keys you can pull your PandaDoc templates and create records for them in
FileMaker. You will use PandaDoc's API documentation as a reference. To list templates, you will use a
GET call to the following address: https://api.pandadoc.com/public/v1/templates. You need to include
your authorization in the cURL. 

"-X GET" & ¶ &

"--header \"Content-Type: application/json\"" & ¶ &

"--header \"Authorization: API-Key " & $apiKey & "\"" & ¶ &

"-d @$body"

From there, you get your results in JSON that you can parse and use to get your template and role
information. Each template will have a template id, which is used to create documents from the
template, and roles, which are used to assign people to sign or ll information on the document. 

Creating Documents
Now that you have template and role information in FIleMaker you can use that to create documents
from your templates. PandaDoc makes this easy. All you need to do is make a POST call to
https://api.pandadoc.com/public/v1/documents. Your cURL will be similar but you need to pass
parameters. You will need the template name and uuid you got from PandaDoc when you listed your
templates. You will also need to send a recipient's object with the rst name, last name, and email for
each role.

"name" : "Sample Sales Proposal",

"recipients" :

"email" : "JohnDoe@gmail.com",

"first_name" : "John",

"last_name" : "Doe",

"role" : "Sender"

}

},

"email" : "AWhite@gmail.com",

"first_name" : "Alice",

"last_name" : "White",

"role" : "Client"

],

"template_uuid" : "F4jTJWr3kB46nYJwAkCMrH"

Listing Documents 
Now that you have created documents in PandaDoc you can list your documents by making a GET call
to https://api.pandadoc.com/public/v1/documents. Your cURL will be the same as when you listed your
templates.

Sending Documents
You can also send documents with the PandaDoc API. You can use a POST call to
https://api.pandadoc.com/public/v1/documents/id/send where "id" is the id of the document you want
to send. That's it! The document will be sent to the email addresses you assigned to the role(s) for that
document.

Conclusion
Integrating PandaDoc with your FileMaker system can reduce the costs of sending documents while
also streamlining the process and allowing for automation. PandaDoc also allows you to use
information you may already have in FileMaker to ll document tokens and create unique documents
quickly. Sending documents virtually makes the process faster and easier for all parties. Being able to
integrate that process with FileMaker makes creating and sending the documents even easier. Contact
