Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring PDFMonkey, Zapier, 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 Zapier integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between PDFMonkey and Zapier (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 Zapier
PDFMonkey + Zapier + Google Sheets: When a document is generated in PDFMonkey, Zapier sends the data, and Google Sheets adds a new row to track the document details.
Zapier + PDFMonkey + Airtable: Zapier receives data and triggers PDFMonkey to generate a document. Airtable then creates a new record with the document details.
