๐Ÿšจ Recent updates to the PandaDoc integration

The PandaDoc integration now uses a fully embedded app experience inside Copper, replacing the previous Chrome Extension workflow.

This updated experience includes:

  • Native in-app document creation inside Copper

  • Support for Leads in addition to Opportunities, People, and Companies

  • Faster and more modern document workflows

  • Easier workspace switching

  • Document visibility directly within Copper records

As part of this transition, users should move from the PandaDoc Chrome Extension to the embedded app experience.

Moving from the Chrome Extension to the embedded app

If youโ€™re an existing PandaDoc integration user, youโ€™ll need to move from the Chrome Extension to the new embedded app experience inside Copper.

The updated experience includes a more modern document workflow, support for Leads, and a fully native integration directly inside Copper.

To switch to the new experience:

Step 1: Install the PandaDoc app

  1. Click Install

Step 2: Authenticate your PandaDoc account

  1. Open any Opportunity, Person, Company, or Lead record in Copper

  2. Open the PandaDoc panel

  3. Click Sign in to PandaDoc

Complete the authentication flow

Once connected, the embedded PandaDoc experience will be available directly inside Copper.

Step 3: Remove the Chrome Extension

After confirming the embedded app is working correctly:

  1. Open Chrome

  2. Select the Extensions icon in the top-right corner

  3. Find the PandaDoc Chrome Extension

  4. Click the three-dot menu

  5. Select Remove from Chrome

You no longer need the Chrome Extension once the embedded app is connected.

Step 4: Start using the embedded experience

You can now create, send, and track PandaDoc documents directly inside Copper without leaving your CRM.

Key benefits of the new embedded experience

  • Native embedded experience inside Copper โ€” no Chrome Extension required

  • Create documents from Opportunities, People, Companies, and Leads

  • Faster, more streamlined document creation workflows

  • Seamless switching between PandaDoc workspaces

  • Track document statuses directly from Copper records

  • Reduce context switching by creating and managing documents without leaving Copper


Requirements

To use this integration, you will need:

Admin setup requirements

A user must be an Admin to set up the PandaDoc integration inside Copper.

If a non-admin user needs to connect PandaDoc for the first time, temporarily elevate their permissions to Admin during setup, then remove Admin access once authentication is complete.

If you run into any issues during setup, please contact Copper Support through the in-app chat.


Access the PandaDoc panel inside Copper

Once installed and authenticated, open any Opportunity, Person, Company, or Lead record in Copper.

The PandaDoc panel will appear directly within the record, where you can:

  • Create new documents

  • View document statuses

  • Track document progress

  • Manage existing PandaDoc files

Use PandaDoc roles and templates to import contact information

Template Roles allow you to automatically import contact information from Copper records into PandaDoc documents, including:

  • First name

  • Last name

  • Email address

  • Company name

To create a Role:

  1. Open your PandaDoc template

  2. Go to the Manage roles tab

  3. Add a Role

To access Role variables:

  1. Open the Variables tab

  2. Find your role variables

  3. Copy and add them into your template

Note: Variables are not available on PandaDoc eSignature plans.


Set up templates to pass data from Copper

Variables automatically fill document fields using information stored in Copper records.

You can pull information from:

  • Opportunities

  • People

  • Companies

  • Leads

  • Custom fields

To add variables:

  1. Open the gear icon inside PandaDoc

  2. Navigate to the Variables tab

  3. Copy the variable name, including square brackets

  4. Paste it into your template

From then on, documents created from Copper using that template will automatically populate with the selected information.

Note: Custom fields added to Opportunities, People, Companies, or Leads will also appear in the variable list.


Pass information from Copper into PandaDoc fields

You can also pass data into PandaDoc fields using Merge Fields.

Unlike variables, Merge Fields do not require square brackets.

To use Merge Fields:

  1. Copy the token from the variable list

  2. Paste it into the Merge Field setting

  3. Send the document as usual

Recipients will see pre-filled information and can update editable fields assigned to them.


Send and track documents

To create and send a document:

  1. Open an Opportunity, Person, Company, or Lead record in Copper

  2. In the PandaDoc module, click Create a new document

  3. Select a template

  4. Assign recipients to Roles

  5. Click Start editing

  6. Review and send the document

Once sent, return to the Copper record to track the documentโ€™s status directly inside Copper.
