Automate Document Creation from Form Submissions
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly convert form submissions into dynamic Google Docs. This workflow automates the process of populating a Google Doc template with data from a form, streamlining your document generation.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow revolutionizes document creation by seamlessly integrating form submissions with Google Docs. Upon form submission, the workflow triggers an action that copies a pre-designed Google Doc template. It then intelligently extracts all data submitted through the form, dynamically mapping these fields to corresponding placeholders within your template. Finally, it updates the copied document with the submitted information, delivering a personalized and automated document ready for use. This eliminates manual data entry and significantly speeds up document generation processes.
Key Features
- Dynamic Document Population: Automatically fills Google Doc templates with form data.
- Template Reusability: Leverages existing Google Doc templates for consistent branding and formatting.
- Form Data Versatility: Captures and maps all submitted form fields, including custom ones.
- Secure Authentication: Supports Basic Auth for form security and Google OAuth2 for document access.
- Workflow Automation: Eliminates manual steps in document creation.
How To Use
- Form Trigger: Configure your form with at least a 'name' field (or adjust the workflow to match your form's fields). Consider adding Basic Auth for security.
- Google Drive Node: Set up the 'Copy template file' node to specify your Google Drive credentials and the ID of the Google Doc template you wish to copy.
- Data Formatting Nodes: The 'Format form data' and 'Format form data to Google Doc API' nodes automatically process the submitted form data and prepare it for insertion into the Google Doc.
- Google Docs API Request: Configure the 'Replace data in Google Doc' node with your Google Docs OAuth2 credentials. The node will automatically use the copied document's ID and the formatted data to update the document.
- Template Placeholders: Ensure your Google Doc template contains clear placeholders that match your form field names (e.g.,
{{name}}). The workflow will find and replace these placeholders with the submitted data.
