How to connect ConvertAPI and Coda
Create a New Scenario to Connect ConvertAPI and Coda
In the workspace, click the βCreate New Scenarioβ button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node β a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a ConvertAPI, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, ConvertAPI or Coda will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find ConvertAPI or Coda, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the ConvertAPI Node
Select the ConvertAPI node from the app selection panel on the right.

Configure the ConvertAPI
Click on the ConvertAPI node to configure it. You can modify the ConvertAPI URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Coda Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the ConvertAPI node, select Coda from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Coda.

Authenticate Coda
Now, click the Coda node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Coda settings. Authentication allows you to use Coda through Latenode.
Configure the ConvertAPI and Coda Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the ConvertAPI and Coda Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that donβt require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring ConvertAPI, Coda, and any additional nodes, donβt 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 βRun onceβ and triggering an event to check if the ConvertAPI and Coda integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between ConvertAPI and Coda (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect ConvertAPI and Coda
Coda + ConvertAPI + Google Drive: When a new row is added to a Coda table, convert a specified document to PDF using ConvertAPI and then upload the PDF to a designated folder in Google Drive.
Coda + ConvertAPI + Slack: When a row in Coda is updated (e.g., contract finalized), convert a document to PDF via ConvertAPI and then send the converted PDF to a specified Slack channel for legal team review.
