/ Product

Design documents once. Epistola creates them from your data.

From the data in your systems to pixel-perfect documents in your house style, with checks, version control and full control over your templates.

/ How does it work?

From data to document.

01

Receive data

A case system, workflow platform, or application supplies the required data.

02

Check

Epistola checks whether the data is complete and usable for the document.

03

Pick the template

The right approved version of the template is used.

04

Create

The document is laid out exactly according to your house style and rules.

05

Return

The PDF is returned to the system that owns the process.

/ Key capabilities

More than creating PDFs.

Output

Pixel-perfect documents

Every PDF follows your house style and layout, with the same result every time.

Authoring

Visual template editor

Document managers design and maintain templates in a visual editor.

Checks

Data checks

Epistola checks the data before it creates a document, so errors are caught early.

Lifecycle

Versions and approval

Templates go from draft to review to published, and versions you no longer use can be archived.

Control

Roles and environments

Roles and permissions, separate test and production environments, and a controlled rollout of changes.

Hosting

Hosting your way

Run Epistola in your own cloud or data centre, or have an official partner host it for you.

/ Live demo

Try Epistola

Explore Epistola in two live environments. All you need is a free account, and one account works for both.

Step 1

Create your free account

The demos are live applications where you work in a space of your own, so you need an account first. It is free, and one account works for both demos.

Sign up with your email address and follow the steps. When you are done, you come back to this page signed in.

Step 2

Choose a demo to launch

Pick an environment. It opens in a new tab.

Epistola Suite

Template management

Create, edit, version, and promote document templates. Define JSON Schema data bindings and preview rendered output — the full Epistola authoring experience.

Valtimo Plugin

Workflow-based document generation

Start processes in Valtimo that trigger Epistola document generation as part of a workflow. Configure the Epistola plugin, connect templates, and map data from running cases.

Step 3

Sign in to the demo

The demo asks you to sign in. Click “Sign in with SSO” if you see it, and use the account from step 1. If you are already signed in on this website, it usually takes just one click.

Trouble getting in?

Both environments always run the latest version. They may occasionally be offline or contain pre-release issues.

/ Integrations

Fits into your existing landscape

Epistola does not replace your case system, portal or workflow platform. It adds document creation alongside them.

Works with

Case systemsWorkflow platformsValtimo / GZACPortalsCustom applications

One simple connection

Your system sends the data, says which template to use, and gets the finished document back.

Your processes stay where they are

Use the ready-made plugin for Valtimo and GZAC, or connect your own software. Case handling and workflows stay in the systems that run them today.
