The altaFlow Tag Generator creates ready-to-use tags for DOCX documents — text placeholders that get replaced with real data during document generation. Use it to insert fields, tables, conditional content, or images into your document templates without writing tag syntax manually.
Tags let you connect a document template to workflow data. For example, a "Client name" tag in a contract template automatically fills with the actual client name when the workflow runs.
How to generate a tag
1. To open the Tag Generator, switch to the Tags tab.
2. In the Generator tab, select the tag type: Insert text, Insert table, List, Add conditional logic, or Insert image. Then, enter the field name and select the tag formatting such as text, date, number, or currency.
3. Once finished, the tag is automatically generated according to your settings. Select Copy tag above the tag box to copy it. Paste the tag anywhere in your DOCX document by pressing Ctrl+V on your keyboard.
TIP: For more detailed information on tags, go to the Documentation tab of the Tags panel.
Tag types explained
The Tag Generator supports five tag types, each designed for a different content pattern in your document:
Insert text — for single-value fields like names, emails, addresses, phone numbers, IDs, or any short text data. The most common tag type.
Insert table — for tables with multiple rows of data (invoice line items, product lists, employee rosters). The bot fills the table with as many rows as needed.
List — for bulleted or numbered lists that grow dynamically based on data (list of attendees, required documents, package contents).
Add conditional logic — for content that should appear only when specific conditions are met (e.g., show a payment clause only if the contract value exceeds $10,000, or hide a section for non-US clients).
Insert image — for dynamic images such as signer signatures, company logos, product photos, or QR codes. The image loads at document generation time.
