TemplateTo

Powerful Template Based Document Generation

Actions6

Overview

This node integrates with a template-based document generation service, allowing users to retrieve and render templates in various formats. Specifically for the Template - Get operation, it fetches detailed information about a selected template by its identifier.

Common scenarios include:

  • Retrieving a specific document template's metadata or content for further processing.
  • Using the template data as input for rendering operations (e.g., generating PDFs or text documents).
  • Managing templates dynamically within an automation workflow.

Practical example:

  • A user wants to fetch a particular invoice template by its ID to review or modify it before generating invoices.

Properties

Name Meaning
Template The specific template to be retrieved. Options are dynamically loaded from available templates.

Output

The output is a JSON array containing the detailed data of the requested template. This typically includes all relevant template metadata and content fields as provided by the external template service.

No binary data is output for this operation.

Example output structure (simplified):

[
  {
    "id": "template-id",
    "name": "Invoice Template",
    "content": "...",
    "createdAt": "2023-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    "updatedAt": "2023-06-01T12:00:00Z",
    ...
  }
]

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the external template service.
  • The node communicates with the service's REST API at https://api.templateto.com.
  • The node depends on internal helper functions to load templates and make authenticated HTTP requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Requesting a non-existent template ID will likely return an error or empty response.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured.
    • "Template not found" or similar: Confirm the template ID exists and is correctly selected.
    • Timeout or network errors: Check internet connection and API service status.
