Generate and Email PDF Invoices from Tally Forms with Google Docs

by Shelly-Ann Davyβ€’Updated: Last update a month agoβ€’Source: n8n.io

Stop copy-pasting invoice details!

This gentle workflow turns a simple Tally form into a beautiful PDF invoice and delivers it to your client before you finish your latte β˜•.**

Perfect for Etsy sellers, coaches, freelancers and side-hustlers who want soft-tech automation that feels like magic, not middleware.

How it works

1️⃣ You (or your VA) fill a 4-question Tally form: client name, email, amount, due date.

2️⃣ n8n instantly merges the data into a Google Docs template you pre-design (logo, colours, your vibe).

3️⃣ PDF is generated & emailed with a warm, on-brand note.

4️⃣ Optional: same PDF is auto-saved to a β€œ2024-Invoices” Google Drive folder for painless bookkeeping πŸ“.

Zero code, zero Zapier, zero monthly feesβ€”just pure calm productivity.

Bonus: template includes placeholder variables so you can add discount lines, PO numbers or custom thank-you messages in seconds.

Grab it, swap in your own Tally & Gmail credentials, and watch your invoicing shrink from 15 minutes to 15 seconds. Your future self (and your accountant) will send you heart emojis πŸ’Œ.
