Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring PDF.co, OpenAI Responses, 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 OpenAI Responses integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between PDF.co and OpenAI Responses (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 OpenAI Responses
PDF.co + OpenAI Responses + Google Sheets: When a PDF document is uploaded or available, PDF.co parses the text from the PDF. This text is then sent to OpenAI to generate a summary. Finally, the original text and the generated summary are added as a new row in a Google Sheet for review.
Email + OpenAI Responses + PDF.co: When a new email arrives, its body content (customer feedback) is sent to OpenAI to generate a summary. The summary is then converted into a PDF document using PDF.co. Finally, this PDF is sent via email to management.
