The official DocuStream community node for n8n lets you generate, retrieve, and deliver PDF documents from any trigger — no custom HTTP nodes required.
In your n8n instance, open Settings → Community Nodes → Install and enter n8n-nodes-docustream. The DocuStream node will appear in the node picker after installation.
Create a new DocuStream API credential in n8n (Settings → Credentials). Paste your DocuStream API key and your instance URL. Credentials are shared across all workflows.
Add a DocuStream node, select an operation (e.g., PDF → Generate), map the template ID and variable fields from upstream nodes, and run the workflow. Done.
Fetch all templates in your DocuStream account and use their IDs downstream in the same workflow.
Retrieve a single template's details, including auto-detected variable names, ready to map to upstream node outputs.
Pass variable values from any upstream node (form submission, webhook, database query) and generate a PDF in one step.
List previously generated PDFs for a template — useful for dashboards or audit workflows.
Retrieve a fresh signed download URL for an existing PDF and pass it to an email or webhook node.
Pull the access log for a generated PDF to see who opened it and when — great for CRM update workflows.
Typeform or Tally submission triggers n8n. DocuStream node generates an invoice PDF from the form data. Gmail or MailerSend node emails it to the customer.
WooCommerce or Shopify webhook fires on new order. DocuStream generates a packing slip. HTTP node POSTs the signed URL to your warehouse system.
Airtable trigger fires when a deal is marked "Won". DocuStream generates a contract from the deal data. DocuSign or email node delivers it to the client.
A scheduled trigger runs at month-end. A database node fetches metrics. DocuStream generates a PDF report for each client. Email node delivers each one.
