Nextcloud - Create PDF, Word, Excel Documents
Nextcloud can connect with Documentero to turn stored files into ready-to-use documents. When new files are uploaded or updated in Nextcloud, Documentero can generate PDFs, Word documents, or Excel sheets based on your templates. This makes it easy to keep contracts, reports, or invoices updated without manual editing. The integration works through API or automation tools like Zapier, Make, n8n, and Power Automate.
