Amazon Lambda - Create PDF, Word, Excel Documents
Amazon Lambda can connect with Documentero to automatically generate documents whenever a function or layer version changes. By using triggers such as function updates or new layer versions, you can send structured data into Documentero templates. This makes it easy to produce formatted reports, logs, or compliance files without manual effort. The integration works through API, Make, or n8n, giving flexibility in how you set up the workflow.

Setup Guides
Make Tutorial: Integrate Amazon Lambda with Documentero
- Create a new scenario in Make.
- Add Amazon Lambda to the scenario and choose one of the triggers (Watch Functions, Watch Layer Versions). Connect your account and configure the trigger.
- Sign up to Documentero (or sign in). In Account Settings, copy your API key and create your first document template.
- In Make: Add Documentero as the next step and connect it using your API key.
- In your scenario, configure Documentero by selecting the Generate Document action, picking your template, and mapping fields from the Amazon Lambda trigger.
- Run or schedule your scenario and verify the output.
n8n Tutorial: Integrate Amazon Lambda with Documentero
- Create a new workflow in n8n.
- Add Amazon Lambda to the workflow and choose one of the triggers (Watch Functions, Watch Layer Versions). Connect your account and configure the trigger.
- Sign up to Documentero (or sign in). In Account Settings, copy your API key and create your first document template.
- In n8n: Add Documentero as the next step and connect it using your API key.
