1.1 Workflow description

Title
Generate client contracts automatically using Google Docs, Drive, and GoHighLevel
Workflow name
Generate client contracts automatically using Google Docs, Drive, and GoHighLevel

πŸ“˜ Description This workflow is a fully automated contract generation and delivery system that converts structured client input into a finalized, professional PDF contract and uploads it directly to your CRM. It eliminates manual document handling by dynamically populating a Google Docs template, exporting it as a PDF, and delivering it to GoHighLevel in a single flow, while ensuring no temporary files remain in storage.

βš™οΈ Step-by-Step Flow

  1. Receive Contract Request (Webhook)
  2. Accepts a POST request containing all contract data:
  • Client name
  • Date
  • Scope of works (array)
  • PC items (array)
  • Financials (subtotal, GST, total)
  • Copy Master Template (Google Drive)
  1. Creates a duplicate of the master contract template.
  2. Ensures the original template remains unchanged.
  3. Populate Contract with Client Data (Google Docs)
  4. Performs large-scale find-and-replace operations:
  • Replaces placeholders with dynamic client inputs
  • Injects scope of work sections
  • Maps PC items and pricing
  • Updates totals and metadata
  1. Download Contract as PDF (Google Drive)
  2. Exports the fully populated document as a PDF file.
  3. Upload PDF to GoHighLevel (HTTP Request)
  4. Uploads the generated PDF to GoHighLevel via API:
  • Makes it instantly available in CRM
  • Ready for attachment or client delivery
  1. Delete Temp Copy from Drive (Cleanup)
  2. Removes the temporary document copy from Google Drive.
  3. Prevents storage clutter and duplication.

🧩 Prerequisites

β€’ Google Drive OAuth2 β€’ Google Docs OAuth2 β€’ GoHighLevel API key (Bearer token) β€’ Webhook trigger source (form, CRM, or system)

πŸ’‘ Key Benefits

βœ” Zero manual contract creation βœ” Consistent formatting across all contracts βœ” Dynamic handling of complex data (arrays, pricing) βœ” Instant CRM upload (GoHighLevel) βœ” Automatic cleanup (no file clutter) βœ” Scalable for high-volume contract generation

πŸ‘₯ Perfect For

  • Construction and renovation businesses
  • Agencies generating client agreements
  • Sales teams automating proposal-to-contract flow
  • CRM-driven businesses using GoHighLevel

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/14364/14364.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
