Questions about this workflow
Will this create thumbnails for documents I have not specified?

What does Api2pdf return?
The LibreOffice Thumbnail action generates a thumbnail image of the document's first page.
Can it preview all document formats?
The action is for PDFs and office files; actual compatibility depends on the supplied file.
