Hello
I’m not sure if this is possible, but our app makes pdfs through pdfmonkey. I’ve been trying to wrap my brain around a way to download the files to our NAS to have for backup when they are generated.
Has anyone done something like this?
Is it an internet connected NAS, or just something isolated to your local network? Does the NAS have some sort of accessible API, or is it able to run code? Can the NAS be linked to Zapier or Make?
Two trains of thoughts here:
- Build something in your flow that could call some kind of API, passing the url for the PDF, and have the remote process download and save the PDF.
- Or, build a process that calls the glide API for your app, gets a list of PDF urls, and downloads and saves the files.
I haven’t built something like this in Glide, but I imagine there needs to be some sort of middle process on the NAS end to actually download the files.
