DocsAutomator has improved with a new integration (Noloco), a new run history feature πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ•’, new options to fine-tune the quality and size of images πŸ–ΌοΈ and a few bug fixes πŸ›.
Please find all updates below!
1) πŸ”— Noloco Integration
DocsAutomator now natively integrates with Noloco. Noloco is a no-code platform for teams to create internal tools on top of their data in PostgreSQL, MySQL, Airtable & Google Sheets.
The integration is super well done (shoutout to Darragh Mc Kay, Matt Harrison and the team) and makes document creation a breeze. Check it out! Demo: https://youtu.be/s_4gCjS5aPQ?si=RotoAfTSzUoM6zCE
2) πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ•’ Run History (paid accounts only)
Paid accounts now have access to a log of all document creation attempts, including errors and corresponding error messages.
This makes debugging a lot easier, especially for Glide, Noloco and other API integrations.
Please note that logging only started March 1, 2024. DocsAutomator only logs what's necessary for display and debugging purposes. Values for placeholders are never logged and the retention period is 1 year.

3) πŸ–ΌοΈ Set Image Quality + Max. Width
You can now set the image quality and maximum width for your images globally in your automation settings. Following last week's announcement of the new automatic image conversion, compression and resizing feature, this gives you more control over how images are displayed in your documents and helps you optimize the file size of generated documents.
The quality setting defines the compression level from "low" to "best. The max. width defines how much images are scaled down. As an example: if an image passed is 4000 x 4000px, it would then be scaled down to 600 x 600px. Images smaller than 600px in width are not upscaled.
