[No Code Required] How to Create Documents Based on Tally Responses and Automatically Convert Them to PDF
s.ougitani
How do you manage and utilize the response data obtained from forms created with Tally? Are you struggling with issues like "manually copying and pasting responses to create PDFs," "spending a lot of time formatting," or "finding it cumbersome to transfer and share data with other tools"? Especially for surveys and application forms where the number of responses increases, manually converting them to PDFs becomes more complicated, increasing the risk of input errors and formatting issues.
If there were a system where, when a response is submitted to Tally, the response content is automatically generated, saved, and shared as a PDF file in a specified format, you could automate tedious repetitive tasks and focus on more value-added activities like analyzing response data and following up with customers!
The automation setup we introduce this time can be easily configured without programming knowledge, allowing you to reduce manual work and save time. Take this opportunity to incorporate automation and improve your work efficiency!

Let's Create a Flow to Convert Tally Responses to PDF and Save to OneDrive
From here, we will explain how to automatically create a PDF file based on the form responses sent to Tally and save it in a specified folder in OneDrive! We will use Yoom to set this up without any code, so if you don't have a Yoom account yet, please create one using this registration form.
[What is Yoom]
How to Create the Flow
We will create it using the following main processes.
Integrate My Apps with Tally, OneDrive, and Google Docs
Copy the Template
Set the Trigger in Tally, and configure Actions in Google Docs and OneDrive
Turn ON the Trigger and verify if the flow is activated
Step 1: Register My Apps for Tally, OneDrive, and Google Docs
Let's work on integrating Yoom with each app.
Steps to Register My Apps for Tally
Once logged into Yoom, click on My Apps and select Add.
Use the search box in the app list and click on Tally.
Enter any name for the account name. Enter "tally" for the access token and click Add.
You have now registered Tally as a My App.
Steps to Register My Apps for OneDrive
Note: Microsoft365 (formerly Office365) has plans for home and general business (Microsoft365 Business). If you are not subscribed to the general business plan, authentication may fail.
Click on My Apps → Add as before.
Use the search box in the app list and select OneDrive.
Click on the account name you want to link.
Enter your password and click Sign In.
You have now registered OneDrive as a My App.
Steps to Register My Apps for Google Docs
Since we will be issuing documents with Google Docs, let's register it as a My App as well. Click on My Apps and select Add.
Use the search box in the My Apps list and select Google Drive.
Select "Sign in with Google".
Click on the account you want to link.
Click Continue.
Select Continue.
You have now registered Google Docs as a My App.
Step 2: Copy the Template
Next, let's copy the template to be used here. While Yoom allows you to create from scratch, we will introduce a method using templates for easier setup. Please click on the banner below.
Click "Try this template".
Click "OK".
You have now copied the template. The copied template is saved in My Projects.
Step 3: Set up Tally Trigger
Next, proceed to the Flowbot settings. Click "Form Submission".
Select Your Account
Optionally set the title and linked account information, and proceed by clicking "Next" with the action as per the template.
Webhook Event Receiving Settings for the App Trigger
Copy the Webhook URL and set it in the Tally management screen.
For Webhook settings, access any form in Tally, and click "Integration".
Click "Connct" of Webhooks and enter the URL you copied earlier from Yoom. Once set, actually respond to the form in Tally and return to Flowbot.
Test and if successful, save it once the information from Tally's form response is obtained.
Step 4: Set up Document Issuance in Google Docs
Next, click "Issue Document".
Document Settings
Optionally set the title and linked account information, and proceed by clicking "Next" with the action as per the template.
Select the document file ID from the options.
Also select the destination Google Drive folder ID from the options.
Set the exported file name to any desired file name. You can also use the retrieved values from Tally as shown in the attached image. Be careful not to manually enter company names or names here, as the same file name will continue to be output. For more details, refer to here.
Once set, click Next.
Set Replacement Conditions
Once the information from Google Docs is obtained, select and input the retrieved values from Tally for each item. Once set, click Test.
If the test is successful, save it.
Step 5: Set up OneDrive Action
This is the final setup step. Click "Upload File".
Select Linked Account and Action
Optionally set the title and linked account information, and proceed by clicking "Next" with the action as per the template.
API Connection Settings
Select the drive ID and destination folder item ID from the options.
Set the file name to any desired name. When storing in OneDrive, be sure to add the extension (.pdf) after the file name. Select items from the retrieved value for easy file management.
For file attachment method, select "Use Retrieved Values", and for file, select "Issued Document", then execute the test.
If the test is successful and the PDF contract is added to OneDrive, save it.
Step 6: Turn on the Trigger to Complete Setup
When the following image is displayed, turn on the trigger.
The Flowbot setup is now complete.
Convenient Automation Examples Using Tally
You can notify Tally responses or add schedules. This saves you the hassle of switching between apps.
Summary
By implementing a system that automatically converts Tally form responses into PDFs and integrates them with specified tools, you can significantly reduce the manual effort of creating PDFs and sharing files, and prevent human errors such as input mistakes.
This allows you to be freed from tedious administrative tasks and focus your time and resources on more essential activities like data analysis and utilization. With the no-code tool "Yoom," which enables the automation of tasks as introduced here, even those without programming knowledge can achieve automation simply by following on-screen instructions.

After being in charge of sales and CA at a human resources company for about 5 years, I have been involved in jobs such as creating job advertisements and scouting sentences at companies that hire engineers.
I'm fascinated by Yoom's revolutionary service of “automating office work.”
I would like to write so that I can send out information that can be useful to everyone, even a little bit.
Conventional RPA can only automate simple repetitive tasks, and the setup process was very complicated. With “hyperautomation,” which combines various technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR, it is possible to automate many tasks that could not be realized until now more easily than before.
Most tools simply connect one app to another, leaving the complex tasks to you. Yoom goes much further: From document creation and browser automation to OCR and generative AI, Yoom handles it all seamlessly in one platform.
Why settle for basic integrations? Streamline your entire workflow with Yoom’s powerful hyperautomation.
