How can i create a pdf and add it to my table base? I’m trying with zapier and pdfmonkey to create a pdf from a row data, but it’s a bit confusing.

PDFMonkey is among the list of integrations being tested with Glide, you might be able to do it directly in Glide in near future.

I don’t have an ETA, but for the moment, if you need it, please let us know which parts you find confusing and we’ll try to help.

For now i can do it with zap. I can’t select the data from my glide app, it’s stuck with the test value that is just a list of “value 1, value 2”, so i can’t set my pdf

I rarely use the Zapier integration, since if I recall right, it limits the amount of values you can pass. Have you tried using a Zapier/Make (formerly Integromat) webhook and use a send webhook action instead?

Finally!!! I can ditch my airtable and migrate everything to Glide.

Good to hear! What automations are you doing on the Airtable side?

Basically:

1. Integrate XERO/QBO data into Airtable using data fetcher.
2. Use Glide as the UI for warehouse / production / inventory.
3. Automation to link related record in the Airtable.
4. Automation to send weekly report.
5. Automation to run some scripts.

One question, is there actually a way to bring Xero/QBO data directly (like sync everyday) into Glide table? So there is no need to use Airtable as the backend!

You could use the Glide API.

I set a button in the details page that calls a webhook on pdf monkey. The action is a simple “trigger webhook”.

Have you added values to your webhook action?
