Using SeaTable as a Configuration Backend for Dynamic PDF Generation

I finally got around to publishing the tutorial I promised during my SeaDays 2024 talk (better late than never, right? :sweat_smile:).

This shows how to use SeaTable as a configuration backend for PDF templates, combined with n8n and Gotenberg. Perfect for scenarios where you need:

  • Dynamic company logos and branding
  • Configurable contact information
  • Formatted text content (like invoice footers)
  • Any other template data that changes regularly

Instead of hardcoding everything in your templates, your team can simply update configurations through SeaTable’s interface and the PDFs generate automatically with the new data.

The setup is surprisingly straightforward - just a few n8n nodes and you’re up and running.
