How to connect Kintone and pdfFiller
Create a New Scenario to Connect Kintone and pdfFiller
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 Kintone, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Kintone or pdfFiller will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Kintone or pdfFiller, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

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

Authenticate pdfFiller
Now, click the pdfFiller node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your pdfFiller settings. Authentication allows you to use pdfFiller through Latenode.
Configure the Kintone and pdfFiller 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 Kintone and pdfFiller 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 don’t 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 Kintone, pdfFiller, 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 Kintone and pdfFiller integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Kintone and pdfFiller (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Kintone and pdfFiller
Kintone + pdfFiller + Slack: When a Kintone record is updated, a PDF document is generated from a template using data from the updated record in pdfFiller. The generated PDF is then sent to a specified Slack channel.
pdfFiller + Kintone + Google Sheets: When a new filled form is submitted in pdfFiller, the document is downloaded and a new row is added to a Google Sheet with data extracted from the form. Corresponding records in Kintone are then updated using data from the Google Sheet.
