How to connect PDFMonkey and Netlify
Create a New Scenario to Connect PDFMonkey and Netlify
In the workspace, click the βCreate New Scenarioβ button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node β 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 Netlify will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find PDFMonkey or Netlify, 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.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring PDFMonkey, Netlify, and any additional nodes, donβt 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 βRun onceβ and triggering an event to check if the PDFMonkey and Netlify integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between PDFMonkey and Netlify (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 Netlify
PDFMonkey + Netlify + Airtable: When a PDF document is generated in PDFMonkey, its URL is stored in Airtable. This URL can then be used on a Netlify-hosted website for organized access to the generated PDFs.
Netlify + PDFMonkey + Google Sheets: Track new Netlify site deployments in Google Sheets and automatically generate reports using PDFMonkey. When a new deployment succeeds on Netlify, a new row is added to a Google Sheet, triggering the generation of a PDF report via PDFMonkey.
