Cloudy's Favorite Apps: Conga Composer

Conga Composer from AppExtremes is one of the most popular apps on the Salesforce.com AppExchange, and with good reason.  Conga allows you to produce formatted reports, emails, mailings and presentation documents with the click of a button.  Many users find tasks that used to take many hours can be reduced to a single step!  Conga Composer also extends the merging capabilities of Salesforce.com by allowing you to easily pull data from multiple objects into one final document.

If you have any business processes that involve lengthy sessions of copying and pasting data from one place to another, or if you wish you had better mail merge options, give Conga a try.  They offer a free 30 day trial and excellent ongoing customer support.

We would love to talk to you about your business, and help you to evaluate whether Conga might help your business.  If you think you might be interested in talking to a Salesforce.com consultant but are not sure what to expect, click here for more information.

  1. Have you tried Drawloop? Its similar to Conga Composer but allows you do pull in VisualForce pages has an easier interface and you don't need to use merge fields in your documents which for me can be a pain.

    1. Thanks for your comment Francis! I have used Conga for several client projects, and I have not tried Drawloop yet. I would be very interested to try it for the right project. When I have compared the two, Conga won out based on its pricing structure, especially for companies that need to do large batch merges. I will keep Drawloop in mind, especially for a small company (<5 users) that only needs point merge capability.
