Learning isn't linear. We've built our our document automation course to be experienced in your own order and pace. Need a refresher on Formstack Documents? Check out Section 1. Ready to start including some logic in your documents, check out Section 3. The journey is yours.
We have a schedule for upcoming sections and topics - but as paying members you help steer the content we create. Want to dig deeper on a specific topic? Let us know and we can craft up additional videos or sections to tackle what you're struggling with.
Once you're in, you're in. As a paying member, you'll have "lifetime access" to our Document Automation video library. This includes any future videos we create for the course.
*The reality is, at some point we'll probably die and/or need to shut this whole thing down... so there's no need to put this in your will. So I guess "Lifetime Access" is more about our lifetime, than yours... but until something happens, go nuts. Whatever we create is yours for the viewing.

If you thought automating complex PDFs, word docs, presentations or images was only for hardcore developers... you're wrong. Without coding you can create crazy documents that will make you feel like you've got super powers. We'll show you how to link up to your online forms to start building deliverable assets without code.
If you've spent any time building artifacts at scale, you probably have a library of templates. You've already done half the work - these templates are just waiting to be automated! So instead of creating images for social media, open graph, presentations, advertisements, banners, [the list goes on and on and on...] free up your time so you can do more fulfilling work.
The number of documents businesses create is staggering. Even if you think, "we're paperless - we don't really have documents"... stop and think, do you need contracts, proposals, quotes, applications, business cards, or NDAs? 100% you use a few. And those are just the generic docs. You could be streamlining so much more. Can you afford to keep doing things manually?
So you've designed a killer ad/card/image/deck/etc. Next up... modifying it 500 times with slight copy or image variations over the next 12 months. FML. If you don't see the opportunity here, please close this tab now.
I get it. Why buy when you can build? I mean, you *could* build a custom document generator using an SDK or code. You might even have a bit more control. You could also shingle a roof by hand, but wouldn't you prefer a nail gun?
What people think of our tutorials...
Man, you explain things so clearly and easily, that I can actually watch a 20+ minute video all the way through, not tune out or disengage, and actually retain everything after the fact. I felt like I watched it, and understood, instead of having to just pause and follow along the whole time.
Thank you for this video. The knowledge in this video got me a job at Formstack!
Where did you learn all this stuff???
Amazing! Great content, thank you!
You're my super hero. Many thanks!

Frequently asked questions
What is No Code Collab?
When you set out to do something you've never done before, there is a good chance you'll suck (🙋). It will take longer and be more frustrating than expected. But over time, if you stick with it, you'll learn. You'll improve. You might even get pretty good.
No Code Collab is where I, Kyle Simmons, share what I've learned. Originally just on YouTube, I've now expanded into this course.
Do I need to pay for any tools or software for this course?
Yes. The tool we rely most heavily on is Formstack Documents. This is a paid tool. If you want to support me, here is my affiliate link. While the concepts we cover are applicable to other document automation tools, I wouldn't recommend this course if you're not planning to use Formstack Documents.
Depending on how you collect your data, you may need to sign up for the following tools:
- Formstack Forms
- Airtable
- Typeform
- Zapier
- Make.com
Is there anything document related that you don't cover?
- Right now, I have no plans to cover anything Salesforce - including Formstack for Salesforce. While it shares a name, this tool is a completely different beast than Formstack Forms. Unless you're a Salesforce guru, I would recommend finding a Formstack Partner to help with the Salesforce app - there are just too many nuances and things that can trip you up.
- Additionally, I don't have any sections on signatures planned right now. I plan to have a conceptual/theory video on signatures, but not a deep dive. My experience is with Formstack Sign - and I've found most people use Docusign. So unless I get requests about doing a Formstack Sign sections, I plan to focus my energy on other documents.
How often do you release new content?
My hope is to release new sections every month or two. I have a list of document ideas - but if you send ideas or things you need help with, I can possibly create content for that. Eventually the content will run out - as there are only so many ways you can create merge tags and conditional logic in your documents.... but we're not there yet.
Are you paid by Formstack?
No.
I do have affiliate links - so if you want to support my work, sign up for a new account with this link.
Otherwise, no, Formstack does not pay me. My opinions are my own. There are many aspects of Formstack that I love (I think it's the most powerful document automation tool available)... and several things that I loathe (mainly having to do with training resources and support time).
Is support included?
Given the price of the course, unique circumstances of each build, and the time required for support, I can't really offer or guarantee support for your specific automation. That said, if you send me an email (kyle@nocodecollab.com), I'll get back to you. I may not be able to provide free support, but still shoot me an email.
Is there a free trial?
Yeah - kinda. Several of the videos are unlocked - so you can see the quality, style, and give it a little test run before diving in.
Do you offer refunds?
Sure. If you aren't satisfied with the course or what you've learned, I'm not going to hold your money hostage. Just shoot me a message: kyle@nocodecollab.com
I don't need the course, but just want to give you money.
Oh stop it. You're making me blush.
While this isn't really a question... and no one has ever said this to me... my Venmo is @kylesimmons.
