It works with templates in DOCX format for contracts, agreements, letters, and other legal documentation. Woodpecker is cloud-based but integrates with Microsoft Word to update files automatically with user-defined data. Client input can be added in numerous different ways, including a structured form, user questionnaires, or a software API. When questionnaires are created, they can be shared with external users. The input data is then used to populate chosen templates in the background. The software API allows coders to produce their own input interfaces or integrate with existing solutions. Woodpecker also works with Zapier for cross-app integration. Textual output is analyzed by Woodpecker for syntactical and semantic consistency. Pronouns, verb tenses, and other variables are automatically updated according to the input data. Final documents can be exported in DOCX or PDF formats. > > Verdict: Rated **4.7/5** by 35 users.

Saves me so much time. And the person(s) completing the form usually just have to sign without entering the same information repeatedly. > > **Cons**: Should broaden their presence on various automation platforms (it's just Zapier at the time of this review) Field bindings sometimes get messed up, requiring the user to recreate fields (not very often). > > Mostly intuitive interface, fantastic management and support. They listen to their user population. ----- ### "Woodpecker has helped our firm become more efficient" — 5.0/5 > **Gary** | *20 November 2022* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I especially like the fact that it is integrated directly into Word. > > **Cons**: Training on template management is critical as it is easy for new users to get confused and overwrite templates or fail to save template changes. > > After using several other document assembly systems Woodpecker is by far my favorite. It has the exact features we need. ----- ### "Beta testing BEWARE\!\!" — 2.0/5 > **Michel** | *28 May 2023* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: The sales pitch. We believed it. Had no idea it was in beta testing > > **Cons**: They never told us the software was in beta testing, and that when they released updates that it would essentially make all of our documents crash and have to be revised. It takes weeks to get a solution. > > Awful. They offer seamless integration, but not for common word documents. ----- ### "Woodpecker review" — 5.0/5 > **Jason** | *31 May 2019* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was an easy program to learn to use. After building templates, the time spent drafting and editing documents has drastically decreased. I can spend more time on the legal issues of the documents instead of wasting time double checking the parties names, his/her, he/she, etc. > > **Cons**: When I build a template I like to start at the beginning and work my way through the document. Sometimes after building the template, I find that I forget a field. It would be nice to insert a field back up where it was forgotten instead of at the end of all the fields. > > I use Woodpecker daily and it makes drafting documents more efficient. I recently tried HotDocs again and found that I can get the same results with Woodpecker at a more affordable cost and much easier to use. ----- ### "Wish all tech was this easy and affordable." — 5.0/5 > **Patricia** | *31 May 2019* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, better functionality (like conditional clauses) than many of the far more expensive options. > > **Cons**: Occasionally, I have had recipients of documents created in Word with WoodPecker fields tell me that they were unable to edit the form filled terms. > > It is easy to install, we have had no technical glitches, and it has sped up our turn around time. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/262678/woodpecker?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/262678/woodpecker) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
