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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Netlify, 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 Netlify and PDF.co integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Netlify 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 Netlify and PDF.co
Netlify + PDF.co + Airtable: When a new Netlify deploy succeeds, PDF.co converts the deployment report into a PDF document. This PDF, along with relevant data, is then logged in Airtable for tracking and archival purposes.
PDF.co + Netlify + Slack: When a PDF document is processed by PDF.co (e.g., parsed or converted), trigger a new Netlify build to update the site with the processed data. After the build starts, send a notification to a Slack channel informing the team about the update.
