n8n

The official n8n community node renders documents from your PixlDocs templates inside any workflow — “new Stripe payment → render branded invoice → attach to Gmail” with zero code. The finished PDF arrives as standard n8n binary data, ready for Gmail, Slack, Drive or S3 nodes.

Set it up

1. 01
   Install the node

   In n8n, open Settings → Community Nodes → Install and enter:

   text

   @pixldocs/n8n-nodes-pixldocs

   n8n restarts and PixlDocs appears in the node panel.

2. 02
   Add your API key

   Copy a key from Workspace Settings → API keys in PixlDocs. In n8n, add a new PixlDocs API credential and paste it. Press Test — a green tick means the key reached your workspace.

3. 03
   Pick a template

   Drop a PixlDocs node in, set Operation to Render Document, and choose your template from the dropdown. The list is your own workspace, loaded live — you never type an ID.

4. 04
   Map your data

   Run Get Template Fields once to see exactly which keys the template takes, then fill the Data (JSON) field with values from earlier nodes:

   json

   {
     "client_name": "{{ $json.customer }}",
     "invoice_number": "{{ $json.order_id }}",
     "items": {{ JSON.stringify($json.line_items) }}
   }

5. 05
   Use the file

   Execute the node. The document lands on the item's binary data property — attach it in Gmail, upload it to Drive, post it to Slack. Nothing else to convert.

Operations

• Render Document — synchronous render; outputs the finished file as binary data.
• Render Async — enqueue a job; pair with PixlDocs webhooks for completion.
• Get Async Render — poll a job by id.
• List Templates — one item per template your key can render.
• Get Template Fields — the clean data keys a template accepts.
