Hi everyone,

I’m Alex, the guy behind DocuPotion. I recently launched the official DocuPotion community node for n8n.

What DocuPotion does

  • Create beautiful, reusable document templates with our AI-driven editor.
  • Generate PDFs of your template in a n8n workflow
  • Use {{merge_fields}} to replace placeholder values with your own data.

Generate PDFs in n8n Automatically (Invoices, Reports & Contracts) - video tutorial

This video shows how you can automatically create invoices from your Google Sheets data using a DocuPotion template.

Whenever a user changes the status of an invoice to ‘Active’:

2026-04-22 15.34.31

It kicks off an n8n workflow that takes the data from that invoice record and uses it a PDF generated from a DocuPotion template:

The generated PDF is uploaded to Google Drive and a link is added to the Google Sheet:

2026-04-22 15.37.58

The video uses Google Sheets as the data source, but you can connect DocuPotion to any data source you’d like :slight_smile:

:books: Useful resources

If you have any questions just let me know.

This looks really useful. A lot of PDF steps in workflows end up being much more painful than they should be, so having a node focused on reusable templates and clean document generation feels like a great fit for n8n. The invoice example also makes the use case immediately clear.

Thanks @tamy.santos - appreciate the kind words!

I’ve been dealing with the frustrations of reliably creating PDFs for ~6 years now. Hopefully DocuPotion makes a bit easier for some people using n8n :slight_smile:

Thanks @Benjamin_Behrens!

Multi-page documents are very common :slight_smile:

Here’s an example of a 3-page employment contract:

Page breaks are automatically added in sensible places when the document is generated, but you can also simply ask the AI to add page breaks in specific places.

Generate PDF of Invoice from Google Sheets - Workflow Template - Apr-26

Just released this workflow template on how to generate PDFs of Invoices using Google Sheets, DocuPotion and Google Drive.

Google Sheets setup

Your Sheet needs two tabs:

  • invoices: invoice_number, invoice_date, due_date, status, customer_name, customer_email, customer_company, customer_address, pdf_url
  • line items: invoice_number, description, quantity, unit_price

To trigger the invoice generation: set a row’s status to Active.

Steps

  1. Google Sheets Trigger watches the invoices sheet for status changes (polls every minute)
  2. Filter: only rows where status = Active proceed
  3. Loop over each updated invoice:
    • Fetch matching rows from the line items sheet
    • Aggregate line items into a single array
    • Generate PDF via DocuPotion template
    • Upload to Google Drive
    • Update the invoice row: set pdf_url and status Sent

Hope it’s useful! If anyone has any questions just let me know :slight_smile:

Alex
