Introduction
Welcome to Missing Toolkit: Templates, a document generation platform that connects to your business data sources and produces professional Word documents using your own custom templates.
What is Missing Toolkit: Templates?
Missing Toolkit: Templates is part of the Missing Toolkit product family. It lets you:
- Connect to external data sources like QuickBooks Online
- Upload your own Word (.docx) templates with placeholder tokens
- Browse entities (invoices, estimates, and more) from your connected data sources
- Generate polished documents by merging live data into your templates
Who is it for?
Missing Toolkit: Templates is built for businesses that need their data in their own document formats. If you've ever manually copied data from QuickBooks into a Word document, this tool eliminates that process entirely.
Common use cases include:
- Custom-branded invoices and estimates
- Packing slips and work orders
- Construction lien waivers
- Scope-of-work summaries
- Client-facing financial reports
- Collection letters
- Custom purchase order formats
How it works
The workflow is straightforward:
- Connect a data source (e.g., QuickBooks Online) from Team Settings
- Upload a Word template with ${PLACEHOLDER} tokens
- Browse your entities and select one
- Generate a document — placeholders are replaced with live data
- Download the finished Word document
That's it. Your templates, your data, your format.
