Required Integrations
Anthropic (Claude AI)
Why it's needed: Claude AI powers the intelligent content generation, transforming your form inputs into structured, professional document content formatted as JSON that the Json2Doc API can process.
Setup steps:
-
Create an Anthropic account at console.anthropic.com
-
Navigate to API Keys in your account dashboard
-
Generate a new API key and copy it immediately (it won't be shown again)
-
Set appropriate usage limits to control costs during testing
-
In TaskAGI, go to Integrations in the left sidebar
-
Click "Add Integration" and select Anthropic
-
Paste your API key into the configuration field
-
Name your integration (e.g., "Anthropic - Document Generation")
-
Test the connection to verify it's working properly
Important: Keep your API key secure and never share it publicly. The Claude Sonnet 4 model used in this workflow offers an excellent balance of speed, quality, and cost-effectiveness for document generation tasks.
Json2Doc API
Why it's needed: This service converts the AI-generated JSON structure into actual document files (PDF, DOCX, etc.) with proper formatting, styling, and layout.
Setup steps:
-
Sign up for Json2Doc at their official website
-
Obtain your API key from the dashboard or settings area
-
Note your API endpoint URL (typically provided in documentation)
-
Configure authentication in the HTTP request nodes (nodes 4147, 4149, 4151)
-
Set up any required headers such as
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
-
Test with a sample request to verify connectivity
Configuration note: You'll need to update the HTTP request nodes with your specific Json2Doc endpoint URLs and authentication credentials. Store sensitive credentials using TaskAGI's secure credential management system rather than hardcoding them.
Configuration Steps
Step 1: Configure the Document Request Form (Node 4144)
This trigger node collects the information needed to generate your document.
Configure these form fields:
-
Document Type (dropdown): Options like "Proposal", "Report", "Marketing Brief"
-
Target Audience (text): Who will read this document
-
Key Points (textarea): Main content points to include
-
Tone (dropdown): Professional, Casual, Technical, Persuasive
-
Additional Requirements (textarea): Any special instructions
Pro tip: Keep form fields clear and specific. The better the input, the better Claude's output will be.
Step 2: Set Company Styleguide (Node 4145)
This data editing node establishes your brand standards that will be applied throughout the document.
Configure these variables:
-
brand_colors: Your primary and secondary color hex codes (e.g., #1A73E8, #34A853)
-
font_family: Your brand fonts (e.g., "Roboto, Arial, sans-serif")
-
logo_url: Direct link to your company logo
-
header_footer: Standard header/footer text
-
spacing_rules: Margin and padding preferences
Example configuration:
{
"brand_colors": ["#1A73E8", "#34A853"],
"primary_font": "Roboto",
"logo_url": "https://yourcompany.com/logo.png",
"margins": "1 inch"
}
Step 3: Generate Document JSON (Node 4146)
This Anthropic node uses Claude to create structured document content.
Key configuration:
-
Model:
claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929 (pre-configured for optimal performance)
-
Prompt: The system prompt instructs Claude to act as a professional document creator
-
Input variables: Reference form data using
{{nodes.4144.output.field_name}}
-
Temperature: Set to
0.7 for creative yet consistent output
-
Max tokens:
4096 allows for comprehensive document generation
Customize the prompt to include:
- Your styleguide variables from node 4145
- Specific formatting requirements
- Industry-specific terminology or standards
- Document structure preferences (sections, headings, etc.)
Step 4: Create Json2Doc Job (Node 4147)
This HTTP request node submits the AI-generated JSON to the document creation service.
Configuration:
-
Method:
POST
-
URL: Your Json2Doc API endpoint (e.g.,
https://api.json2doc.com/v1/jobs)
-
Headers: Include authentication and content-type
-
Body:
{{nodes.4146.content}} (the JSON from Claude)
Example headers:
{
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
Step 5: Wait for Processing (Node 4148)
This wait node gives the Json2Doc service time to process your document.
Configuration:
-
Wait duration:
5 seconds (adjust based on typical document complexity)
-
Wait type: Fixed duration
Optimization tip: Start with 5 seconds and adjust based on your actual processing times. Longer documents may need 10-15 seconds.
Step 6: Check Job Status (Node 4149)
This HTTP request polls the Json2Doc API to check if processing is complete.
Configuration:
-
Method:
GET
-
URL:
https://api.json2doc.com/v1/jobs/{{nodes.4147.response.job_id}}
-
Headers: Same authentication as node 4147
The response should include a status field indicating "processing", "completed", or "failed".
Step 7: Is Completed? (Node 4150)
This conditional node determines whether to download the document or wait longer.
Configuration:
-
Condition:
{{nodes.4149.response.status}} equals "completed"
-
True path: Proceeds to download (node 4151)
-
False path: Loops back to wait longer (node 4152)
Important: Configure a maximum retry limit to prevent infinite loops if processing fails.
Step 8: Download Document (Node 4151)
This final HTTP request retrieves your completed document.
Configuration:
-
Method:
GET
-
URL:
{{nodes.4149.response.download_url}}
-
Response type: Binary (for file download)
-
Save to: Configure output destination (storage, email, etc.)

Troubleshooting
"Anthropic API Error: Invalid API Key"
Cause: Your Anthropic integration isn't configured correctly.
Solution:
- Go to Integrations and verify your API key is entered correctly
- Check that there are no extra spaces or characters
- Ensure your Anthropic account has available credits
- Test the integration connection independently
"Json2Doc Job Failed" or Timeout
Cause: The JSON structure doesn't match Json2Doc's expected format, or the service is experiencing issues.
Solution:
- Examine the JSON output from node 4146 in the execution logs
- Validate JSON structure against Json2Doc documentation
- Check your Json2Doc account for service status
- Verify your API quota hasn't been exceeded
- Increase wait time in node 4148 to 10-15 seconds
"Condition Never Resolves to True"
Cause: The status check condition in node 4150 isn't matching the actual API response.
Solution:
- Check the exact status values returned by Json2Doc (might be "complete" vs "completed")
- Add logging to see the actual response from node 4149
- Verify the JSON path to the status field is correct
- Consider adding additional status values (e.g., check for both "completed" and "success")
Document Formatting Doesn't Match Styleguide
Cause: Styleguide variables aren't being properly passed to the AI prompt or Json2Doc API.
Solution:
- Verify node 4145 variables are correctly defined
- Check that the AI prompt in node 4146 references
{{nodes.4145.output.variable_name}}
- Ensure Json2Doc supports the styling options you're specifying
- Review Json2Doc documentation for correct style parameter names
"Rate Limit Exceeded" Errors
Cause: Too many API requests in a short time period.
Solution:
- Implement exponential backoff in your retry logic
- Increase wait times between status checks
- Upgrade your API plan if you're hitting limits regularly
- Add rate limiting logic to queue requests during high-volume periods
