How to integrate with Zapier?
Zapier allows transferring generated documents from one system to another. You can find our Zapier app here.
We can imagine an employee, who works with data in a Google spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is set as an input to the automated process from Zapier, via the API, to the output - PDF Generator. Adding a row to the table of the successful course graduates will trigger the sending of data via the API. The output data are generated into a template certificate.
The logic in the background:
Before you start:
- Prepare your own template, or you can use one of our Example Documents. In the article we are working with the "Certificate" example document - you can download the template structure and then import it following the Step 1 in our tutorial.
- Log in/sign up into your Zapier account using invitation link from PDF Generator API.
- Log in/sign up into your Google Drive account, create new Google Sheet File, name the columns.
Example Google Sheet document:
