Usage

Generating Documents

The most common workflow is generating documents from templates:

HTTP Request (get data) → DocuGenerate (Generate Document)

Data Field: By default, the data field uses {{ $json }} to automatically populate with data from the previous
node. You can also manually customize the JSON structure to match your template's merge tags.

Supported Output Formats:

  • Microsoft Word (.docx, .doc)
  • PDF (.pdf)
  • OpenDocument (.odt)
  • Plain Text (.txt)
  • PNG (.png)

Template Data Structure

DocuGenerate templates use merge tags like [Name], [Address], etc. Your data should be structured as JSON arrays:

[{
  "Name": "John Doe",
  "Address": "123 Main St",
  "Items": [
    {"Product": "Widget", "Price": "$10.00"},
    {"Product": "Gadget", "Price": "$15.00"}
  ]
}]
