How to connect GoCanvas and PDFMonkey
Create a New Scenario to Connect GoCanvas and PDFMonkey
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

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

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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring GoCanvas, PDFMonkey, 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 GoCanvas and PDFMonkey integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between GoCanvas and PDFMonkey (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect GoCanvas and PDFMonkey
GoCanvas + PDFMonkey + Google Drive: When a new submission is received in GoCanvas, generate a PDF document using PDFMonkey, and then upload that PDF to a specified folder in Google Drive for easy access and archival.
GoCanvas + PDFMonkey + Slack: Upon receiving a new submission in GoCanvas, a PDF document is generated using PDFMonkey. A notification containing details and a link to the newly created PDF document is then sent to a designated Slack channel, alerting the team.
