Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting ONLYOFFICE Docs and Paperless-ngx.
Connect your ONLYOFFICE Docs and Paperless-ngx accounts once, pick a trigger in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]
Example: when Paperless-ngx's "Watch Config" fires, WEXTL can "Add Favorite Files and Folders" in ONLYOFFICE Docs. ONLYOFFICE Docs has 82 actions (including Add Favorite Files and Folders, Add Template Files, and Bulk Download Files); Paperless-ngx has 125 actions (including Activate Totp, Autocomplete Search, and Bulk Delete Processed Mail). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [1]
Yes — the integration works in both directions. Use each app's triggers to start a workflow and the other app's actions to update it. [2]
No. ONLYOFFICE Docs-to-Paperless-ngx automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic. [4]
Yes. Trigger-based automations start the moment ONLYOFFICE Docs (or Paperless-ngx) fires a new event — webhook-backed apps run within seconds, and polling-only apps re-check on a schedule you control. [7]
A first automation typically takes 5–10 minutes: connect each app's credential once, drop a trigger + action onto the canvas, map the fields, and turn the workflow on.
You can build your ONLYOFFICE Docs + Paperless-ngx automation on a 3-day trial with every feature unlocked. Cancel anytime. For your protection, a small deposit is charged to your card when your trial starts. It counts toward your first payment and is non-refundable. [8]
