n8n Document Generator: Dynamic Email & HTML Content

Generate dynamic email and HTML content in n8n—without complex scripting

This n8n automation workflow demonstrates how to use the Document Generator community node to render dynamic templates into email bodies and HTML content. You can compose complex, data-driven messages using templates—ideal for producing one email with a list of items or one email per item.

What this workflow does

Based on the n8n-nodes-document-generator community node, this workflow shows a straightforward template-driven approach to dynamic content:

• Creates sample input items using the Customer Datastore node.
• Renders template output dynamically from those items (demonstrating “render all items” behavior).
• Supports multiple output patterns, such as:
  • One email containing a list of items (e.g., the latest entries from an RSS feed).
  • One email per item (e.g., an invoice email per customer/order).
• Shows that emails are only an example—templates can power other channels and formats.

Use cases

• Send one batched email that summarizes the latest items from a feed.
• Send personalized “one per item” messages such as invoices, notifications, or updates.
• Generate HTML pages for a website from structured data.
• Create tickets or message content intended for tools like Telegram or Slack.
• Create WordPress entries using template-based content rendering.

Technical details

• Document Generator (community node: n8n-nodes-document-generator) for dynamic template rendering.
• Customer Datastore node to generate sample input items for testing.
• Email Send node to demonstrate output formatting (emails are sample output).
• Manual Trigger to run the workflow on demand.
• Includes common workflow elements such as item lists (and uses template rendering rather than relying on heavy custom scripting).

Important: This template contains a community node and therefore only works for n8n self-hosted users. Install n8n-nodes-document-generator from Settings > Community nodes before running.
