Support for PPTX and DOCX File Handling

Hi all,

I’d like to request a feature to enhance n8n’s support for PPTX and DOCX file handling. Currently, working with these formats in n8n is somewhat limited, and having built-in nodes or improved functionality to read, modify, and generate DOCX/PPTX files would be extremely valuable for automation workflows.

Use Cases:

  1. Document Automation: Extract text, replace placeholders, or generate DOCX files dynamically.
  2. Presentation Generation: Automate PPTX creation for reports, slides, and dynamic content.
  3. Parsing & Processing: Extract data from DOCX/PPTX files for further use in workflows.
  4. Integration with Other Tools: Enable seamless processing of office documents with cloud storage, email automation, or reporting tools.

I’d love to hear if this is something the team is considering or if there are any workarounds available for now. Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Hi @benvoi

do not forget to vote yourself.

I published a ndoe that (partially) does your first usecase. N8n Community node for DocX template -> Report
