Automate Contracts with n8n: Your Next HR Workflow

Automate Contracts with n8n: Your Next HR Workflow

If you're a founder, ops lead, or solo consultant juggling word doc templates, contracts, NDAs, or monthly invoices and you're still manually duplicating docs and sending emails, this one's for you.

This week’s tutorial walks through a real use case: using n8n to automate the “send NDA” process.

It’s the kind of thing you’d usually hand off to a VA… or forget to do entirely.

In this 20-minute tutorial, I show you how to:

Take a document template (like an NDA or invoice) from Google Docs

Dynamically duplicate it using n8n

Add custom info like the recipient’s name, address, title, etc

Email it out automatically with a personal note

Save the file in your Drive or Dropbox, fully sorted

Avoid sending the same doc twice (no duplicates, no mess)



It’s all low-code, step-by-step, and designed for beginners, especially if you've never touched n8n before.

This tutorial isn’t just about NDAs. It’s about how to make your repetitive admin tasks a total breeze. You'll also see:

How to send and receive data between nodes
How to use Google Docs + Gmail + n8n together
Why “pinning” is your best friend when testing
How to use expressions to personalise documents
And how to break your workflow down into simple, repeatable steps


Why we made this

At Skillet AI, we believe automation is the future of productivity, but only if it’s accessible.

No dev jargon. No “one weird trick.” Just real automations you can build today, not someday.

Here’s what we stand for:

✅ Clarity: You’ll understand what each step is doing, no black boxes
✅ Transparency: Mistakes aren’t edited out, you’ll see what breaks and how to fix it
✅ Real-world value: These are workflows we use in our business, not just cool demos


What’s coming next?

We’re working on more no-fluff, high-impact tutorials like:

Automated reports from Facebook, Shopify, and Amazon
Sales doc generation from CRM entries
Client onboarding workflows that run themselves
Automation dashboards to track everything in one place


Let’s build smarter, not just faster
