Gutenburg provides three managed-package Flow actions. Choose the action based on how many Salesforce records are being processed and whether the same document-generation configuration applies to all records.

Create PDFs for 1 record

Label: Create PDFs for 1 record
API Name: apex-Gutenburg__SingleRecordAction

Use this action when the Flow is generating document or documents for a single Salesforce record.

Create PDFs for multiple records

Label: Create PDFs for multiple records
API Name: apex-Gutenburg__MultiRecordAction

Use this action when the Flow should generate document or documents for multiple Salesforce records using the applicable Automator configuration.

Map PDFs to multiple records

Label: Map PDFs to multiple records
API Name: apex-Gutenburg__MappedRecordAction

Use this action for the more complex batch pattern where different records need to be mapped to different template/document-generation instructions.

Common input model

Gutenburg Flow generation uses Automator Name(s) together with the applicable record ID or record IDs.

An Automator is configured in the Gutenburg Automator object and includes a Name and the Template Name(s) that should be generated.

Choosing an action

Use the simplest action that matches the workflow:

  • One record → Create PDFs for 1 record
  • Multiple records with the same generation pattern → Create PDFs for multiple records
  • Different template mappings across multiple records → Map PDFs to multiple records
