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:


Note that even if you would need to set different process, the steps 2 and 3 are basically the same.


Before you start:



Example Google Sheet document:


Download the complete Zap file and start your process automation right now!


  1. Upload generated document to your Google Drive
  2. Send generated document to AWS S3 Bucket automatically
  3. Generate a document using Postman and send generated document via email automatically


Create a ZAP and set your step manually


  • Once you logged in your Zap account, hover over the left sidebar menu and click Make a Zap.
  • Create your steps, as you can see in the picture, follow the videos too see how to set up each step


You can also find more information in the Zapier support portal.


Customize each step to your needs



Step 1 - Google Sheets


Choose your spreadsheet.


Step 2 - Create Document


There are three "Output" options within this step:


  • URL to PDF File
  • Raw PDF content
  • Base64 encoded


You should enter the values into "JSON" option manually, copying the well known JSON file logic, in our case: {"Name":"ColumnName1", "DueDate":"ColumnName2"}


Step 3 - Upload to Google Drive


In the "Customize Upload File" category as the "File" option should be entered "Document" (PDF Generator API)


In case you would need to save the generated document to AWS S3 Bucket, or send generated document via email, you can find two more tutorials here:


Send generated document to AWS S3 Bucket automatically



When adding an AWS account to Zapier, do not select the location option of the S3 as the "Default" but replace it with the real one, it usually displays an error from the "Default" option


Send generated document via email
