@eledo/n8n-nodes-eledo
This is an official n8n community node for integrating Eledo into n8n workflows.
Eledo is a document automation service that allows you to generate PDFs from structured data directly within n8n workflows.
n8n is a fair-code licensed workflow automation platform.

Installation
Follow the installation guide in the n8n community nodes documentation.
Operations
This node focuses on PDF generation via the Eledo REST API.
While Eledo exposes multiple API endpoints, the node intentionally surfaces only the operation that is relevant for most automation workflows.
Supported operations
Generate PDF
Generate a PDF document from a selected template and input data.
- Uses Eledo’s synchronous Generate REST endpoint
- Accepts structured input data
- Returns the generated PDF as binary data
- Handles API timeouts and error responses gracefully
This operation covers the vast majority of real-world use cases and is the primary integration point between n8n and Eledo.
Internally used (not exposed to users)
The following API endpoints may be used internally by the node to improve user experience but are not exposed as standalone operations:
List templates
Used to dynamically fetch available templates and populate a template selector in the node UI.Schema
Used internally to understand template structure and validate input data.
Not implemented (by design)
The following legacy or auxiliary API endpoints are not implemented in this node:
These endpoints support older, multi-step workflows or account introspection and are not required for modern, synchronous PDF generation scenarios.
Note
The operation set may expand in the future if additional Eledo API capabilities become publicly available or if strong use cases emerge.
Credentials
Eledo uses API key authentication.
Prerequisites
To use this node, you need:
- An active Eledo account
- An API key generated in your Eledo user profile
Getting your API key
- Log in to your Eledo account
- Navigate to Profile → API
- Copy your existing API key or generate a new one
Setting up credentials in n8n
- Create new credentials for Eledo API
- Paste your API key into the API Key field
- Save the credentials
The API key is sent using HTTP header authentication and is required for all requests.
Compatibility
This node is developed and tested against the current stable version of n8n.
- Tested with: n8n 2.0.3
- Minimum required version: n8n 2.x
Earlier versions of n8n may work, but are not officially supported or tested.
The node will be kept compatible with future n8n releases, and compatibility will be verified as new stable versions are published.
