● Conga Composer allows Salesforce users to create, customize,
automate and generate documents and quotes by a single click on
a button.
● It can also select richly-formatted templates with data from any
kind of object in Salesforce.
● We can create a Conga Template through Template builder and that
I’ll discuss further.

document generation methods to make your Salesforce users more
productive.

15. Customizing Composer with

● Parameters are added using the following convention:
&ParameterName=Value

16. Conga Queries
We can use Queries instead of reports in Salesforce. Conga Queries
contain a SOQL SELECT statement that is specially tuned to work in
combination with Conga Composer and Conga Mail Merge.

17. Template
Builder
1. The filter box is used to search and
quickly find the fields.
2. The Plus sign next to a data set is to
expand it to select data fields.
3. Arrows to move selected data.
4. It includes selected data fields and tables’
from the data set.
5. In this section, we can choose the type of
the template.
6. This section allows us to select fields in
the template work area so using these
buttons we can copy and paste fields in
our template.

18. Conga Template
Manager
● After we built a template through template builder, we can store it
to the Conga Template Manager to make it available for Conga
component.
● It is the storage location for Conga templates.
● It is a custom object that is added with the Conga Composer
component.
● It provides an ability to cover security, source control, ability to use
the Master Field To Set operation on a per-template basis, and also
reduced the need of using parameters to update IDs in button
URLs.
