This template watches a Google Drive folder for new uploads, downloads each file, and converts it to PDF with PDF.co.
Use it to standardize documents for archive, sharing, or the next step in a workflow. Connect Google Drive and PDF.co, then point the trigger at the folder you want to watch.
Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
