Create & send certificates in bulk with Google Slides/Gmail
Hello Indie Hackers I created CertifySimple App which helps create certificates in bulk with google sheets to get students info, google slide to edit or create certificate template and gmail to send certificates with personalised emails
I am really looking forward to heard what you guys think about it
Nice build! The Google Slides + Gmail approach is clever for low volume. For anyone needing this at scale (hundreds or thousands of certificates), the template rendering becomes a bottleneck.
One approach that scales better: a URL-based image generator where you pass the recipient's name and course details as parameters, and get back a rendered certificate image. You can then loop through a spreadsheet with any automation tool (Zapier, Make, n8n) and email each person their unique link or attachment. @OKZest handles this well if you want to avoid the Slides-per-person overhead.
