Document generation should be simple to set up, simple to use, and simple to keep running. Yet for many teams, the hardest part isn't generating the document. It's everything around it: mapping templates field by field, building user experiences, configuring and deploying solutions, and checking whether a merge is finished.
That kind of work adds up. Research published in Harvard Business Review on how knowledge workers spend their time found that people spend about 41% of their day on discretionary tasks that offer little satisfaction and could be handled by others. Manual template setup and repeated status checks fit squarely in that category.
The Conga Composer Fall 2026 release is built around one idea: ease of use. It introduces AI-assisted template creation, a prebuilt Document Merge UI, a reimagined Solution Manager on Salesforce, and event notifications for the Composer API. Each update removes technical effort from document generation, so admins, IT teams, and business users get up and running faster and realize value sooner.
AiMe Template Generator: Turn Word Documents into Templates With AI
Building a template has traditionally meant opening a document, finding every piece of variable data, and mapping each merge field by hand. For a long letter or proposal, that can take hours, and every manual step is a chance for error.
With AiMe Template Generator, part of Conga’s unified AI intelligence layer, you can upload an existing Word (.docx) document along with a Salesforce or JSON data payload, and AI reverse-engineers the merge fields for you. It identifies where your data belongs, inserts the fields, and produces an online template ready to use.
How It Works
- Upload: Provide a .docx file and a Salesforce or JSON data payload.
- Generate: AI identifies variable content and maps it to the fields in your payload.
- Adjust if needed: A drag-and-drop interface lets you move fields to a preferred location if necessary.
- Preview and save: Preview the template with your data, then save it to Conga Drive.
See It in Action: A Customer Welcome Letter
Picture a team with a standard customer welcome letter in Word and customer data in Salesforce. A template creator uploads the letter and the data payload to AiMe Template Generator. The AI maps customer names, account details, and dates to the right merge fields. The template creator previews the letter and saves the finished template. If they'd prefer a field in a different spot, they can simply drag and drop it. No field-by-field mapping required.
AiMe Template Generator marks the next step in making template creation accessible to anyone who works with documents, not just template experts.
Document Merge UI: Get Up and Running Faster with Prebuilt Components
Getting value from document generation shouldn't wait on a custom build. The new Conga Composer Document Merge UI gives Composer customers prebuilt, customizable interface components that bring document generation directly into business workflows from day one.
Instead of designing, building, and testing a user experience before anyone can generate a document, teams start with a ready-made interface and tailor it to their needs. That means faster deployment, quicker adoption, and faster time to value, whether you're launching your first use case or rolling Composer out across the enterprise. With the Document Merge UI, end users can:
- Select one or more templates, including prebuilt options
- Preview merged documents before they go out
- Choose how to deliver them: email, e-signature, or download
The Document Merge UI is available for now for Salesforce customers and coming soon to the Advantage Platform.
Faster Time to Value for Every Organization
For organizations of any size, the prebuilt UI shortens the path from purchase to productivity. Admins and IT teams deploy a proven experience instead of starting from scratch, and business users start generating documents sooner.
Consider a company that wants to add proposal generation to its sales application. Rather than building and maintaining a separate interface, the team uses Composer's prebuilt UI components and customizes them to fit its workflow. Sales reps get a clean, guided way to create proposals, and the business sees results in less time.
Reimagined Solution Manager: Deploy Solutions Without the Technical Expertise
Deploying a document generation solution has traditionally required deep technical knowledge. Admins needed to understand how data, templates, outputs, and deployment settings fit together, and getting it right often meant relying on specialists.
The Reimagined Composer Solution Manager on Salesforce changes that. A step-by-step wizard guides administrators through creating, managing, and deploying document generation solutions, replacing the technical expertise that setup once required. Admins don't need to know every configuration detail in advance. The wizard walks them through each decision in order, so they can turn business requirements into working solutions with confidence.
Why It Matters
- Lower barrier to entry: Salesforce admins deploy solutions without specialized technical skills.
- Faster deployment: A guided process shortens the path from business requirement to working solution.
- Easier management: Update and maintain solutions in the same guided experience as needs change.
Example: Customer Onboarding
An administrator needs to create a document generation solution for customer onboarding, but they aren't a Composer expert. They don't need to be. The Solution Manager wizard walks them through each step to build and deploy the solution, then gives them one place to manage it as onboarding requirements evolve.
Composer API Event Notifications: Real-Time Updates Without Polling
Many organizations use Composer API to generate documents inside their own applications and automated workflows. Until now, the only way for those systems to know a merge had finished was to check the status endpoint again and again. That adds work for development teams and slows workflows down.
Now Composer API customers can receive event-driven notifications via webhook. When a document merge completes or fails, Composer notifies the connected system automatically.
Each notification includes:
- Real-time status on merge success or failure
- Rich metadata about the merge
- Detailed error information, including stack traces, for failed merges
Keep Workflows Moving Automatically
Imagine an application workflow that uses the Composer API to generate an agreement. When the merge completes, an event notification tells the connected system to move the application to the next step. If the merge fails, detailed error information helps the team identify and resolve the issue quickly. The result is an integration that's easier to build and easier to maintain.
Ease of Use for Every Team
These updates serve everyone who touches document generation, across industries from financial services, insurance, and healthcare and life sciences to manufacturing, technology, higher education, staffing, the public sector, and HR.
- Composer and Salesforce admins build templates with AI and deploy solutions through a guided wizard, without deep technical expertise.
- IT and development teams launch faster with prebuilt UI components and event-driven APIs.
- Sales and customer success teams create proposals, letters, and onboarding documents in the flow of work.
- Transformation leaders see faster time to value and scale document automation without custom builds.
Taken together, these updates change what it takes to succeed with document generation. Building a template no longer means hours of manual field mapping. Deploying a solution no longer demands deep technical expertise. Launching a user experience no longer requires a custom build, and keeping API-driven workflows moving no longer depends on constant status checks. The October 2026 release puts powerful document automation within reach of more people across your organization, so you can move from requirement to results faster and spend more time on the work that matters.
