Repeating Table Row

This guide shows how to print a list of items into a table using n8n.

Step 1 — Prepare your template​

In the Eledo editor:

  1. Create a table with:

    • one row for headers
    • one row for data

  2. Place the cursor inside the second row

  3. Click Block Repetition

  4. Click Select Parent Block to select the entire table row

  5. In Data (expression), enter the list name (for example Products)

This will repeat the table row for each item in the list.

Add dynamic values​

Inside the repeated row:

  1. Add Text Box (TXT) components
  2. Use field names for item properties (for example Name, Quantity, DeliveryDate)

Step 2 — Prepare JSON structure​

Open your template in Eledo and navigate to the API section.

Locate the example request and copy the object assigned to file.

Example:

{
   "Products":[
      {
         "Name":"",
         "Quantity":"",
         "DeliveryDate":""
      }
   ]
}

Step 3 — Use the template in n8n​

In your n8n workflow:

  1. Add the Eledo PDF node
  2. Select your credentials
  3. Choose your template
  4. Set Input to JSON
  5. Paste and fill the JSON structure into Payload (JSON)

Example:

{
   "Products":[
      {
         "Name":"Eledo",
         "Quantity":"1",
         "DeliveryDate":"2026-04-21"
      }
   ]
}

Mapping table rows

Result​

When the workflow runs:

  • each item in the list is processed
  • the table row is repeated
  • values are inserted into each column

Notes​

Repeating rows require structured data.

Because of this, they can only be configured using JSON Input Mode in n8n.
