Node Reference

Node Reference Library

Technical documentation for every active workflow node in ConvertUniverse, grouped by the same categories used in the editor.

Updated 2 min read

Overview

This reference library documents the live workflow nodes that ship with the current editor and execution engine. Each page focuses on implementation-level details: accepted inputs, editor settings, downstream output shape, practical constraints, and the edge cases that matter when you are building production workflows.

Category Index

  • Triggers & Inputs: browser uploads, URL fetches, Drive watchers, spreadsheets, schedules, and webhook entry points.
  • Processing: PDF operations, template filling, document conversion, signing, OCR, and protection.
  • Control Flow: branching, looping, synchronization, aggregation, waits, zipping, and sub-workflows.
  • Outputs & Actions: downloads, printing, email delivery, HTTP requests, webhooks, and explicit sub-workflow return values.

Coverage

The current library covers the active menu nodes and registered executors for:

  • manualTrigger, trigger, fileInput, urlInput, excel, googleSheets, schedule, webhookTrigger
  • copyPdf, pdfFormFill, wordFormFill, mergePdf, splitPdf, compressPdf, convertPdf
  • rotatePdf, watermarkPdf, metadataPdf, flattenPdf, ocrPdf, signPdf, protectPdf, unlockPdf
  • imageToPdf, pdfToImage, wordToPdf, pdfToWord, excelToPdf, pdfToExcel, pptToPdf, pdfToPpt
  • ifElse, switch, loop, merge, matchFiles, wait, aggregate, zip, subWorkflow
  • downloadOutput, gmailSend, emailOutput, outlookSend, printOutput, workflowOutput, httpRequest, webhook, googleDrive, dropbox

How To Read The Pages

  • "Configuration / Settings" describes the editor-facing options and any important implementation notes when the executor behaves differently from the panel.
  • "Inputs Expected" focuses on the real runtime payload, not only the label shown in the canvas.
  • "Variables Exported / Outputs" documents context.data[nodeId], which is what {{node_id.field}} expressions resolve against.
  • "Common Use Cases" shows the shortest path to a reliable workflow rather than generic marketing examples.
