FAQ

Common questions

Can Knit build “Generate custom documents from form submissions” between PDF-app and Submittable?

Yes — describe it in the box above and Knit's Integrations Agent researches PDF-app and Submittable's public API docs (or your own uploaded docs) and builds a working workflow, whether or not either app already has a pre-built connector.

How long does it take to build?

Minutes to a first working version, not weeks — you test it against real data before it goes anywhere near production.

How do PDF-app and Submittable work together to automate document creation?

When clients complete forms in Submittable, their submitted information instantly populates structured notes or custom templates in PDF-app for signing or archiving.

Can signature events update survey records?

Yes, when a document is sent for signature in PDF-app, you can automatically update respondent information in Submittable.
