Question 1

What manual work can we automate by connecting Pitchly to other tools?

Accepted Answer

You can automate the collection of raw data from forms, databases, or communication tools and route it directly into Pitchly to generate pitch decks, proposals, or other work assets without manual copy-paste or file handling. Automations can also trigger Pitchly to produce documents based on specific conditions or events, then send the finished assets to your team or contacts automatically. This removes the back-and-forth of gathering information, formatting it, and distributing completed documents.

Question 2

How does data move between Pitchly and other applications in an automation?

Accepted Answer

Data flows into Pitchly through API connections or webhooks from your source systems, such as contact databases, intake forms, or CRM platforms. Pitchly processes that data to generate the required document or asset. The completed file can then be sent back out to other tools via API or webhook, stored in cloud storage, emailed to recipients, or logged back into your source system for record-keeping. The specific format and fields must match what Pitchly expects to avoid data loss or generation errors.

Question 3

What issues should we watch for when automating document generation in Pitchly?

Accepted Answer

Incoming data must be clean and properly structured, as Pitchly relies on accurate field mapping to populate documents correctly. Missing or misformatted data can cause blank sections or failed generations. Changes to your Pitchly templates or data structure can break automations, so version control and testing are important before pushing updates live. Some complex conditional logic in templates may not translate smoothly through automated workflows, so preview and validate generated documents before they reach recipients.

Question 4

How should we organize Pitchly templates and data to support reliable automations?

Accepted Answer

Use consistent, standardized field names and data formats across all source systems that feed into Pitchly, and document which fields map to which template sections. Create separate templates for different document types or use a single flexible template with optional sections controlled by automation logic. Keep templates stable and test any changes in a non-production environment before applying them to live automations. Establish clear ownership of template maintenance so updates are coordinated and don't break active workflows.
