Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the PDF.co and Salesforce integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between PDF.co and Salesforce (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 Salesforce
PDF.co + Google Drive + Salesforce: When a document is processed by PDF.co, it's saved to Google Drive, and a link to the file is added to the corresponding record in Salesforce.
Salesforce + PandaDoc + PDF.co: When a record is updated in Salesforce, a personalized contract is created in PandaDoc from a template. After the document status changes in PandaDoc (e.g., signed), PDF.co converts it into PDF.
