Change these to match your brand.\n2. **Download Report Image** \u2014 Fetches the image from the URL as binary data.\n3. **Upload Temp Image** \u2014 Uploads the image to Autype as a temporary rendering image (expires after 24 h). Returns a `refPath` like `/temp-image/{id}`.\n4. **Render Markdown Report** \u2014 Sends the Extended Markdown content to Autype. The markdown references the uploaded image via its `refPath`. Styling defaults (fonts, colors, header with logo, footer with page numbers) are passed as JSON.\n\n### Setup\n1. Install **n8n-nodes-autype** via **Settings \u2192 Community Nodes** (self-hosted n8n only).\n2. Get your API key at [app.autype.com](https://app.autype.com) \u2192 [API Keys](https://docs.autype.com/getting-started/editor/settings#api-keys).\n3. Add an **Autype API** credential in n8n with your API key.\n4. Select your credential in the Autype node.\n\n### Customization\n- Change output format: set `outputType` to `docx` or `odt` in the Render node.\n- Edit the markdown content directly in the Render node's **Markdown Content** field.\n- Adjust defaults JSON for different fonts, colors, or header/footer layout.\n\n> \u26a0\ufe0f This workflow uses the Autype community node and requires **self-hosted n8n**."
