Form Publisher lets you generate documents from Google Docs templates and Google Forms answers, that get directly stored and sent and shared in Google Drive to the people you want.
It is one of the very top Google Marketplace add-on. Thousands of organisations and millions of people use it to automate tedious business processes, such as generating purchase requests, invoices, quotes, certificates, and much more.

Our team is global (we have people based in France, Italy, Serbia, Bulgaria, Russia, US, Philippines, UK, Ireland), highly motivated and competent. We are a remote first company: anyone can work fully remotely. We also have offices in Paris and Milan if that’s more your thing.
We are growing quickly, and looking for new talent that will help us reach new heights.
