Lucas FridmanChief Product OfficerWe use APITemplate to generate key documentation we need to work with our industry partners. We are building a digital solution in an antiquated industry, which means we need to communicate data to our partners in the format that they are accustomed to (pdf forms). APITempate makes it easy for us to do this!
Jean-Paul HornPublisherWe love APITemplate.io for its simplicity and ease of use. Just setup once and "forget" about it due to its fabulous 3rd party integration. New features are regularly added, and reasonable custom requests are honoured within days.
Kevin FrickēAPITemplate.io is one of the best services I have worked with in a very, very long time. They are super responsive and a joy to work with. If you are struggling with PDF's, like I was, check 'em out!
Jacob MonashAutomation SpecialistWe run conferences with a number of speakers, each requiring an individual speaker profile. We used to create all of these profiles manually, but by incorporating APItemplate into our Zapier workflow, our team can generate a complete image with all of the speakers information in one click. Using the template editor is a bit of a learning curve, but the support team is very responsive and helpful.
George CooperAPITemplate.io is great. I love being able to quickly use HTML and CSS templates with dynamic variables to create documents. Support is also fast and responsive. Great vendor!
