How to use it

  1. In the dashboard, choose Create template, select "Start from a template" and pick "Meeting minutes". The layout and sample data are copied into your project.
  2. Edit the company name, logo and field positions in the template editor to match your own format.
  3. Send the template name and data to POST /v1/renders to issue a PDF.

With a test API key (sk_test_) you can issue documents from the draft. Publish a version before issuing with a production API key. From an AI assistant, specify the same template in the from of the MCP create_template tool.
