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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring PDFMonkey, GoCanvas, 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 PDFMonkey and GoCanvas integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between PDFMonkey and GoCanvas (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 GoCanvas
GoCanvas + PDFMonkey + Slack: When a new submission is received in GoCanvas, a document is generated in PDFMonkey based on the submission data. A message is then sent to a Slack channel to notify the team of the new PDF document.
GoCanvas + PDFMonkey + Google Sheets: Upon receiving a new submission in GoCanvas, a PDF document is generated in PDFMonkey. Simultaneously, a new row is added to a Google Sheet with the data from the GoCanvas submission for analysis.
