AI event certificate generator that replaces Word mail merge.

Mail merge is great until you actually try to use it. Upload your certificate template, attach a CSV of attendees, and let Claude loop through the list — returning hundreds of personalized, signature-ready PDFs as a single download manifest.

For: Training companies, certification bodies, conference organizers, and academic departments issuing more than 50 certificates at a time.

The problem

The classic flow — Word template + Excel sheet + mail-merge wizard — works exactly until the column names change, the file path moves, or someone needs to do this from a Mac instead of the office laptop. Most online certificate generators force you into their layout and brand it for them.

How DocExport solves it

DocExport hosts your certificate .docx as a Claude tool. Drop the attendee CSV into a chat, ask Claude to generate the batch, and watch it iterate through the list — one generate_document call per attendee, returning a manifest of signed download URLs you can hand to the registrar to send out.

The workflow

From .docx to AI-generated document.

1
Upload your certificate design

A .docx with placeholders for attendee name, course title, completion date, and instructor signature image (or signature text line).

2
Drop the attendee CSV in chat

Claude reads the rows and confirms the mapping — name column, course column, completion date.

3
Generate the batch

Claude calls generate_document per attendee and returns a download manifest. The registrar emails them; you move on.

Example

What the prompt looks like.

“Here's the workshop attendee CSV — 217 people, course title "Applied Prompt Engineering," completion date today, instructor Dr. Patel. Generate the certificates and give me a manifest.”

FAQ

Common questions.

How many certificates can I generate at once?
Limited by your monthly document quota. Team and Scale plans handle thousands; reach out for one-off events that exceed your tier.
Can I include a unique certificate ID?
Yes. Pass {{CertificateNumber}} per attendee — Claude or your CSV pre-generates the IDs.
Do attendees need DocExport accounts?
No. The download URLs are signed and short-lived; anyone with the URL can fetch the PDF without an account.
Can I email the certificates automatically?
Pair DocExport with an email-sending MCP server (Gmail, Resend, etc.) and Claude can chain generation + send in one workflow.
