How to connect PDFMonkey and GitLab

Create a New Scenario to Connect PDFMonkey and GitLab

In the workspace, click the β€œCreate 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 PDFMonkey, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, PDFMonkey or GitLab will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find PDFMonkey or GitLab, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the PDFMonkey Node

Select the PDFMonkey node from the app selection panel on the right.

Set Up the PDFMonkey and GitLab 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.
  • Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
  • Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring PDFMonkey, GitLab, 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 β€œRun once” and triggering an event to check if the PDFMonkey and GitLab integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between PDFMonkey and GitLab (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect PDFMonkey and GitLab

PDFMonkey + GitLab + Slack: When a new design document is generated in PDFMonkey, a merge request is automatically created in GitLab, and the design team is notified in a Slack channel.

GitLab + PDFMonkey + Google Drive: On code merge in GitLab, generate release notes as a PDF via PDFMonkey and store the generated document in a specified folder within Google Drive.
