Start generating certificates

Here's how it works

Generate certificates from your n8n workflows in three steps.

1

Design your certificate template

Build your certificate template using the DocuPotion AI editor or start with a template. Refine the layout, borders, branding, and recipient details with prompts or quick edits until it’s exactly the way you want it.

2

Install the DocuPotion node

Add the DocuPotion node from the n8n marketplace and pass workflow data through merge fields like {{recipientName}} and {{courseName}}. The same community node works on both n8n Cloud and self-hosted instances.

3

Trigger from any workflow

Wire the DocuPotion node into a workflow triggered by any source: a course completed in your LMS, a webinar attended in Zoom, a quiz passed, a form submission, or a scheduled cohort run. Loop over a list and the node issues a personalised certificate for every recipient in one pass, ready to email or store.

n8n Certificate Generator FAQ

How do I generate a certificate from an n8n workflow?

Design a certificate template in DocuPotion's AI editor, then add the DocuPotion node to your n8n workflow. Map fields from your trigger or upstream nodes to merge fields like {{recipientName}} and {{courseName}}, and the node returns the finished certificate as either a binary file or a hosted URL, ready to pass into the next node of your workflow.

What can trigger certificate generation in n8n?

Anything upstream in n8n. A course completed in an LMS like Teachable, Thinkific, or LearnDash, a webinar attended in Zoom, a quiz passed, a Typeform submission, a new record in a database, or a scheduled cohort run. If it's a trigger or upstream node in n8n, it can fire the DocuPotion node and produce a certificate.

Can I bulk-generate certificates for a whole cohort?

Yes. Use n8n's loop or item-iteration to fan out over a list of recipients (everyone who completed a course, every attendee of an event, a class roster from a Google Sheet) and the DocuPotion node runs once per item, issuing a personalised certificate for each. Pair it with a Schedule trigger to run it automatically at the end of every cohort.

Can I personalise each certificate with the recipient's name, score, and date?

Yes. Pass structured data through to the DocuPotion node and map it to merge fields like {{recipientName}}, {{score}}, and {{completionDate}}. Values can come straight from the trigger or be computed upstream in a Function node, so each certificate reflects the exact details for that recipient.

Can I add a unique certificate ID to each certificate?

Yes. Pass a unique value (a record ID, a generated serial number, or an issue date) through to a merge field like {{certificateId}} and it renders on every certificate. Compute it upstream in a Function node or pull it from your source system so each recipient gets a distinct, traceable certificate.

How do I deliver the generated certificate to the recipient?

The DocuPotion node returns the certificate as a binary file or a hosted URL. Wire the binary directly into Gmail or Outlook's send action, upload it to Google Drive or Dropbox, post it to Slack, or push it to your own S3 bucket via DocuPotion's S3 integration. Everything stays inside the n8n workflow.

Does this work with self-hosted n8n?

Yes. The DocuPotion node is a community node and community nodes work on both n8n Cloud and self-hosted instances. As long as your n8n instance can make outbound HTTPS requests, the node behaves identically.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Start a free DocuPotion trial without a credit card and generate your first n8n certificates right away.
