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

Add the PostgreSQL Node
Select the PostgreSQL node from the app selection panel on the right.

Configure the PostgreSQL
Click on the PostgreSQL node to configure it. You can modify the PostgreSQL URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the iLovePDF Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the PostgreSQL node, select iLovePDF from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within iLovePDF.

Authenticate iLovePDF
Now, click the iLovePDF node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your iLovePDF settings. Authentication allows you to use iLovePDF through Latenode.
Configure the PostgreSQL and iLovePDF Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the PostgreSQL and iLovePDF 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 PostgreSQL, iLovePDF, 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 PostgreSQL and iLovePDF integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between PostgreSQL and iLovePDF (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect PostgreSQL and iLovePDF
PostgreSQL + iLovePDF + Google Drive: When a new or updated row is added to PostgreSQL, a report is generated and converted to a PDF using iLovePDF. The PDF report is then uploaded to Google Drive for archiving and sharing.
iLovePDF + PostgreSQL + Slack: When a document is processed by iLovePDF (e.g., compressed), the event details, such as file name and processing time, are logged in a PostgreSQL database. A notification is then sent to a Slack channel to inform the team about the document processing event.
