/ 1.0 launch

The open-source document generation enginefor reliable PDFs.

Epistola turns structured data into consistent documents. Model templates, validate inputs, manage versions, and render PDFs while your existing workflow or case system stays in control.

From data to document

01

Send structured data

A workflow or case system sends the data needed for a document.

02

Resolve the template

Epistola validates the input and uses the right approved template version.

03

Generate the PDF

The finished document is returned or handed back to the system that owns the process.

/ What it does

A focused system for document generation.

Epistola handles the document layer: templates, data contracts, rendering, and integration points. It does not replace your workflow engine.

Design templates

Create and manage reusable document templates with variants, versions, and reviewable changes.

Validate data

Describe the structured input a template expects so integrations can fail early and safely.

Render PDFs

Generate consistent PDF output from approved template versions and supplied data.

Connect systems

Call Epistola from case systems, workflow engines, or custom applications through a narrow API.

/ Who it is for

Built for teams that already have processes.

Epistola fits into existing operational platforms instead of becoming another place to run work.

Municipalities

Generate letters, decisions, and case documents while keeping Common Ground-oriented systems in control.

Integrators

Add document generation to customer platforms without building template management and PDF rendering yourself.

Platform teams

Self-host an open-source service with a clear responsibility, small integration surface, and predictable deployment model.

/ Why Epistola

Clear responsibility, easier adoption.

For launch, Epistola is deliberately simple to understand: it is the document generation service in your architecture.

Open source by default, so teams can inspect, self-host, and adapt the software.

Deploy it next to existing systems instead of sending document data through a black box.

Leave workflow, decisions, and case handling in the systems that already own those processes.
