Building a Powerful PDF Generator in N8N

In this video, we're going to show you exactly how you can build a PDF generator that will generate a contract every time you submit a form. The contract will be generated based on the inputs from the form, and it will include the client's company name, setup fee, monthly fee, reporting frequency, and client's name.

Setting up N8N for PDF Generation

We start by setting up a new workflow in N8N. We can use a form to trigger the workflow, and we can use the inputs from the form to generate the contract. We can use a Google Form or any other type of form that we prefer. Setting up N8N for PDF Generation

Configuring the Form

We can configure the form to include the necessary fields, such as the client's company name, setup fee, monthly fee, reporting frequency, and client's name. We can then use these fields to generate the contract.

Testing the Form

We can test the form by submitting it with some sample data. For example, we can submit the form with the client's company name as "Meta", the setup fee as "$1,000", the monthly fee as "$1,000", the reporting frequency as "Weekly", and the client's name as "Mark Zuckerberg".

Copying the Template

Once we have the form data, we can use it to generate the contract. We start by copying a template from Google Drive. We can use a Google Ads Services contract template as an example. Copying the Template

Updating the Document

We can then update the document by replacing the placeholders with the actual data from the form. We can use the "Find and Replace" feature in N8N to replace the placeholders.

Setting up the Date

We also need to set up the date in the contract. We can use the "Set" feature in N8N to set the date to the current date. Setting up the Date

Generating the PDF

Once we have updated the document, we can generate the PDF. We can use the "Google Drive" feature in N8N to download the document as a PDF. Generating the PDF

Uploading the PDF to Google Drive

Finally, we can upload the PDF to Google Drive. We can use the "Google Drive" feature in N8N to upload the PDF.

Conclusion
