Example
How it works
DOCPATH_GENERATE_PDF_SYNC renders a PDF synchronously through the external DocPath service. Like PDF_GENERATOR, you pick a templateId and wire the template's variables into the node's input ports; on completion it returns the rendered document on the pdfBase64 output. The difference is the rendering engine — DocPath handles the template instead of EzFlow's built-in PDF engine.
Example
Scenario: Produce a richly formatted quote PDF using a DocPath template.
- Upstream nodes provide the quote fields (
client,lineItems,total). - Add a DOCPATH_GENERATE_PDF_SYNC node, select the DocPath
templateId, and wire each variable into its port. - The node returns
pdfBase64; pass it to BASE64_TO_ATTACHMENT and then SEND_MAIL.
