Automate Job Posting Creation with Forms, Dropbox, and Foxit PDF Generation

This n8n template demonstrates how to add a tie form data to a new PDF. The idea is to automate the creation of a professional looking job posting.

Use cases would be organizations who need to automate the creation of job postings.

How it Works

The trigger is a form that asks for job position, salary, office location, and responsiblities When the form is posted, it kicks off the workflow's next steps A Word document is downloaded from a Dropbox folder. This Word document is used as the template for the posting. The Word document is converted to base64. A call to Foxit's Document Generation endpoint includes the encoded Word document along with the form information. The resulting PDF is downloaded and converted from base64 into binary. At this point, the PDF is just there, but it could be emailed, sent to another workflow, etc.

Requirements

A Dropbox account. The workflow's first step points to a Word template. See our doc gen APIs for information on how to craft the Word doc, but the easiest way is to copy text like so:

Job Position We are pleased to announce the opening of a new job, {{ jobPosition }}. This job pays ${{ salary }} per year and is in our {{ office }} location. The details of this job are:

{{ responsibilities }}

Foxit developer account (https://developer-api.foxit.com)

Next Steps

As mentioned above, you could do anything with the resulting PDF when done.
