Generate and send contract documents with Typeform, Google Docs and Gmail

This workflow is designed for teams or freelancers who want to auto-generate and send contracts based on information gathered from a Typeform (e.g., client name, project scope, deadlines). Perfect for HR onboarding, client agreements, or legal operations.

Prerequisites

• To use this workflow, you’ll need:
• A Typeform account and a published form
• Access to Google Docs (or use a local document template)
• Gmail or SMTP email integration in n8n
• n8n Desktop or a hosted n8n instance

How It Works

• Trigger: Listens for new Typeform submissions.
• Extract Data: Parses the answers from the form.
• Generate Contract: Fills a contract template using form inputs.
• Create PDF: Exports the filled contract as a PDF.
• Send Email: Sends the PDF to the client’s email address provided in the form.

Nodes Used

• Typeform Trigger – Triggers on form submission.
• Set Node – Maps form answers into variables.
• Google Docs (or HTTP Request) – Uses a template to generate the contract.
• Google Drive / PDF Converter – Converts to PDF (if needed).
• Email (Gmail/SMTP) – Sends the completed contract to the recipient.

Tips

• Replace the Google Docs template ID with your own.
• Ensure the variable placeholders (like {{client_name}}) match your document.
• Use the Cron node instead of Typeform Trigger if you want to poll periodically.
