Questions & answers

Here is a list of the most common customer questions. If you can’t find an answer to your question, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

The Pre-fill Dropdowns from CSV File Bot

Pre-filing is a useful feature that will help you to make the process of completing forms much faster. And guess what? You don’t need a lot of know-how to improve the process even more.

If you have a table of information, you are already halfway to creating an ideal form. It’s very easy to import data from CSV with airSlate Bots:

  • Choose the conditions for when the Bot will act
  • Upload your doc with tables set in a specific format
  • Match the column of information with the dropdown in your form
  • Finish the Bot configuration by clicking Apply setup

By following these simple instructions, you will be able to extract data from CSV files and place them in your dropdown. It’s not necessary to create a new table for each field or document. You have the opportunity to make as many columns as you need in the file and use it as many times as necessary for different templates.

Import data from CSV to be able to change the file from almost any place. This format is an abbreviation of ‘comma-separated values’, which is supported by all programs that work with tables. Additionally, it’s possible to edit them in default text editors that are already installed (Notepad or Pages, for example). Open it in Excel, OpenOffice Calc, Google Docs and many others.

Eliminate repetitive activities without a single line of code
