    • Create Custom PDF Documents from Templates with Gemini & Google Drive

      This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n. ## 1 - What Does It Do / Which Problem Does It Solve? This workflow turns Google Docs-based contract & form templates into **ready-to-sign PDFs in minutes**—all from a single chat flow. - **Automates repetitive document creation.** Instead of copying a rental, sales, or NDA template and filling it by hand every time, the bot asks for the required values and fills them in. - **Eliminates human error.** It lists every mandatory field so nothing is missed, and removes unnecessary clauses via conditional blocks. - **Speeds up approvals.** The final draft arrives as a direct PDF link—one click to send for signing. - **One template—unlimited variations.** Every new template you drop in Drive is auto-listed with **zero workflow edits**—it scales effortlessly. - **100% no-code.** Runs on n8n + Google Apps Script—no extra backend, self-hosted or cloud. --- ## 2 - How It Works (Detailed Flow) 1. **Template Discovery** The **TemplateList** node scans the Drive folder you specify via the `?mode=meta` endpoint and returns an `id / title / desc` list. The bot shows this list in chat. 2. **Selection & Metadata Fetch** The user types a template name. **GetMetaData** opens the chosen Doc, extracts `META_JSON`, placeholders, and conditional blocks, then lists mandatory & optional fields. 3. **Data-Collection Loop** - The bot asks for every **placeholder** value. - For each **conditional block** it asks **Yes** / **No**. Answers are accumulated in a `data` JSON object. 4. **Final Confirmation** The bot summarizes the inputs—when the user clicks **Confirm**, the *DocProcess* sub-workflow starts. 5. **DocProcess Sub-Workflow** | Step | Node | Task | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | **User Choice Match Check** | Verifies name-ID match; throws if wrong | | 2 | **GetMetaData (renew)** | Gets the latest placeholder list | | 3 | **Validate JSON Format** | Checks for missing / unknown fields | | 4 | **CopyTemplate** | Copies the Doc via Drive API | | 5 | **FillDocument** | Apps Script fills placeholders & removes blocks | | 6 | **Generate PDF Link** | Builds an `export?format=pdf` URL | 6. **Delivery** The master agent sends **Download PDF** & **Open Google Doc** links. 7. **Error Paths** - `status:ERROR, missing:[]`—bot lists missing fields and re-asks. - `unknown:[]`—template list is outdated; rerun *TemplateList*. - Any Apps Script error—the returned `message` is shown verbatim in chat. --- ## 3 - Setup Steps (Full Checklist) > Goal: Get a flawless PDF on the first run. > > Mentally **tick** the ☑️ in front of every line as you go. > ### A. Google Drive Preparation | Step | Do This | Watch Out For | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Create a `Templates/` folder—put every template Doc inside | Exactly **one** folder; **no** sub-folders | | 2 | Placeholders in every Doc are **`{{UPPER_CASE}}`** | No Turkish chars or spaces | | 3 | Wrap optional clauses with **`[[BLOCK_NAME:START]][[BLOCK_NAME:END]]`** | The `START` tag must have a **blank line above** | | 4 | Add a `META_JSON` block at the very end | Script deletes it automatically after fill | | 5 | Right-click Doc > **Details & Description** = 1-line human description | Shown by the bot in the list | | 6 | Create a second `Generated/` folder (for copies) | Keeps Drive tidy | > ☑️ Folder ID (long alphanumerical) = <TEMPLATE_PARENT_ID> > > We'll paste this into the TemplateList node next. > [Simple sample template—Template Link](https://www.notion.so/Simple-sample-template-Template-Link-22b3f8a1e57f8070beacd034ba6f557f?pvs=4) --- ### B. Import the Workflow into n8n ```bash Settings – Import Workflow – DocAgent.json ``` If nodes look **Broken** afterwards—no community-node problem; you only need to select credentials. --- ### C. Customize the TemplateList Node 1. Open **Template List** node – replace `%3CYOUR_PARENT_ID%3E in parents` with the real **folder ID** in the **URL**. 2. Right-click node > **Execute Node**. 3. Copy the entire JSON response. 4. In the editor paste it into: - **DocAgent**—*System Prompt* (top) - **User Choice Match Check**—*System Prompt* (top) Save. > Why manual? Caching the list saves API tokens. Whenever you add a template, rerun the node and update the prompts. --- ### D. Deploy the Apps Script | Step | Screen | Note | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Open Gist files **GetMetaData.gs** + **FillDocument.gs**—*File – Make a copy* | Both files may live in one project | | 2 | *Project Settings* > enable **Google Docs API** & **Google Drive API** | Otherwise, you'll see 403 errors | | 3 | *Deploy*

  1. Automatically Save and Organize Outlook Email Attachments in OneDrive Folders

    # Outlook to OneDrive This workflow automates the process of saving binary attachments from Outlook emails into newly created folders in OneDrive. It's ideal for users who regularly receive files and need them organized into separate folders without manual intervention. Each folder is automatically named based on the email subject and the current timestamp, allowing all attachments from that email to be stored inside the corresponding folder. This is particularly useful for streamlining document workflows, improving file traceability, and reducing the time spent on repetitive tasks like organizing client submissions, invoices, or internal reports. The configuration and setup of the workflow can be customized to meet the business or personal needs of the user. Its purpose is to automatically process binary attachments from Outlook emails and upload them to dynamically created folders in OneDrive. # Overview 1. **Microsoft Outlook Trigger** - Monitors your inbox for new emails. 2. **Filter** - Ensures only emails with binary attachments proceed. 3. **Get Outlook Message** - Retrieves the full email and downloads attachments. 4. **Create Folder** - Makes a new folder in OneDrive based on the email subject and time. 5. **Split Out** - Extracts each binary attachment. 6. **Merge** - Combines folder and file data before upload. 7. **Upload File to OneDrive** - Uploads each binary file into the new folder. # Need Help?

  4. Parse Incoming Invoices from Outlook Using AI Document Understanding

    ### This n8n template monitors an Outlook mailbox for invoices, automatically parses/extracts data from them, and then uploads the output to an Excel Workbook. One of my top workflow requests, this template can save many hours of manual labor for you or your finance/accounts team. ### How it works - A scheduled trigger is set to fetch recent Outlook messages to the Accounts receivable mailbox. - Each message is analyzed to determine whether or not it is from a supplier and is issuing/contains an invoice. - For each valid message, the attachments are downloaded and non-invoice documents are filtered out via AI Vision classification. - Invoices are then processed through an AI vision model again to extract the details. - The extracted data can then be used for reconciliation or otherwise. For this demonstration, we'll just append the row to an Excel sheet for now. ### How to use - Ensure your Microsoft365 credential points to the correct mailbox. If a shared folder is used, toggle the shared folder option to on and for the principal ID, use the email address. - If you receive lots of other types of messages such as replies and forwards, you may want to implement additional checks to prevent processing invoices twice. The remove duplicates node can help with this. ### Requirements - Outlook for Mailbox - Google Gemini for Document Understanding and Invoice Extraction - Excel for Data Storage ### Customizing this workflow - Note the assumption for this template is that all invoices will come as a PDF attachment. In real life, this is rarely the case! Adding in document conversion to cover all invoice formats. - Human feedback is also an important factor in AI workflows. Try tagging emails as a way to notify team members that the invoice was processed.
