About the TemplateFox Node
The official TemplateFox community node for n8n lets you generate PDFs from templates with dynamic data. Works synchronously — returns the PDF URL immediately. Compatible with n8n AI Agents.
Why automate packing slips?
Orders come in around the clock. Each one needs a packing slip with the customer name, shipping address, line items, and often a barcode for warehouse scanning. Manually creating these is tedious and error-prone.
With n8n, every new order automatically generates a PDF packing slip. The workflow maps order data to template fields, generates the PDF, and delivers it to your fulfillment team — no manual work required.
Here's what we're building: order webhook → TemplateFox generates PDF → email/save to warehouse.
Choose a template
Pick a packing slip template that matches your needs. This template includes QR code and barcode for easy scanning:

The QR code component uses the {{ bar_code }} field for scanning:
Template fields: company_name, address_line_1/2/3, items (array with product_description, qty, barcode), bar_code, order_date
