How to connect PDF.co and NocoDB
Create a New Scenario to Connect PDF.co and NocoDB
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 NocoDB will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find PDF.co or NocoDB, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

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

PDF.co
Add the NocoDB Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the PDF.co node, select NocoDB from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within NocoDB.

Set Up the PDF.co and NocoDB 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.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring PDF.co, NocoDB, 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 PDF.co and NocoDB integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between PDF.co and NocoDB (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect PDF.co and NocoDB
PDF.co + NocoDB + Slack: When a PDF form is processed by PDF.co using the 'Parse Document' action, the extracted data is used to update a NocoDB table. Subsequently, a summary of the processed data is sent to a designated Slack channel.
NocoDB + PDF.co + Google Drive: When a new record is created in NocoDB, data from the record is used to generate a PDF report using PDF.co's 'Convert into PDF' action. The generated PDF report is then saved to a specified folder in Google Drive.
