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