Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Knack, 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 Knack and PDF.co integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Knack 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 Knack and PDF.co
Knack + PDF.co + Google Drive: When a new record is created in Knack, PDF.co generates a PDF document from the record's data. The generated PDF is then saved to a specified folder in Google Drive.
PDF.co + Knack + Airtable: When a PDF document is received, PDF.co parses the document to extract specific data. The extracted data is used to update an existing record in Knack, and a new record is created in Airtable to log the event.
