Team collaboration is easy with Quip documents that teammates can simultaneously share, comment on, and edit. Now you can set up Zaps that automatically create Quip documents for you. From there, your teammates can share thoughts, generate reports, or jot down notes in the documents.

Automation Inspiration

Need a few ideas about how to automate your workflows with Quip and Zapier? Here's how Vicky Cassidy, customer champion at Zapier, uses the new "Create Document" Action to help her create reports in Quip.

Cassidy takes the pain out of reporting by setting up a Zap that creates Quip documents at the same time every week. From there, she simply fills in the document, so teammates can see what she's been up to that week.

Cassidy also auto-creates reports on-demand using Zapier's Google Chrome extension. This Zap pulls her metrics from customer support tool Help Scout then posts them as a document in Quip.
