In the fast-paced world of document management, efficiency and flexibility are paramount. To address the evolving needs of our users, we have introduced the Document Actions Framework, a feature set designed to empower users with more control over their generated documents and harness highly optimized productivity. At its core, the Document Actions Framework offers users the ability to configure specific actions to be executed automatically after documents are generated.
In this article, we delve into the MVP release of this feature, focusing on one of its key functionalities: seamless integration with external storage services. Users now have the power to configure templates to automatically send generated documents to popular external storage platforms such as Google Drive, AWS, and Sharepoint. The Document Actions provides a more optimized performance and maintains a higher level security, removing the need for, and exposure of, redirect URLs.
