Use case
Personalized certificates, from one to one thousand
Design the certificate once in Word. Then generate a personalized copy for every attendee, student, or member - with names, dates, scores, and QR codes filled in automatically.
- Design freely in Microsoft Word
- Bulk generation from your data
- QR codes linking to your verification page
From completion to certificate, automatically
Whether it is one certificate after a course or a thousand after a conference, the flow is the same.
Bring in the recipients
Trigger the workflow from a registration form, or with webhook calls from your course platform or event tool - sent directly or through Zapier or Make, one run per recipient or spreadsheet row.
Generate each certificate
Each run fills your Word design with the recipient's name, course, date, and score. Add a unique QR code linking to a verification page, and output a print-ready PDF.
Send them on their way
Email each certificate to its recipient the moment it is generated, save copies to cloud storage, and keep a log of who received what, and when.
Certificates people are proud to share
Design quality of a design tool, automation of a workflow engine - without learning either.
Design in Word, not a new editor
Borders, seals, script fonts, background art - if Word can lay it out, it can be your certificate template. The generated copies match it exactly.
True bulk generation
A thousand attendees means a thousand personalized PDFs, generated one per record with no manual mail-merge steps and no copy-paste sessions.
Built-in QR codes
Add a QR code tag pointing to a verification page or credential record - each certificate gets its own code, generated automatically.
Personalized images and signatures
Swap logos per event, add instructor signatures, or include the recipient's photo - images are template tags too.
Delivery to every recipient
Certificates email themselves to each recipient as they generate. Send with the built in mail sender or use your own SMTP to send at higher volumes.
Connects to your existing tools
Connect registration platforms, course tools, and spreadsheets through Zapier, Make, viaSocket, or plain webhooks.
