Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Cloudinary, PDF.co, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Cloudinary and PDF.co integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Cloudinary and PDF.co (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Cloudinary and PDF.co
Cloudinary + PDF.co + Google Drive: When a new resource is uploaded to Cloudinary, it is transformed with a watermark. PDF.co converts the watermarked image to PDF, and the PDF is then saved to Google Drive.
PDF.co + Cloudinary + Airtable: When a PDF is added to a specified Google Drive folder, PDF.co extracts the text from the PDF. This text is then used to tag images in Cloudinary, and the Airtable record associated with the image is updated with the extracted text.
