How to connect ConvertAPI and PDFMonkey
Create a New Scenario to Connect ConvertAPI and PDFMonkey
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 PDFMonkey will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find ConvertAPI or PDFMonkey, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
