Hi and greetings from the Netherlands! I am stuck creating an invoice in combination with Intergomat (Make) and ZoHo Invoice. The intention is to make an invoice with different “LineItems”, so; more than 1 (in my case) products on one invoice. Creating the invoice with only 1 product or service is a piece of cake. However, in my case several products and services have to be placed on one invoice. Those products should then be listed under each other as usual on an invoice. After a lot of testing and trying I wrote to ZoHo and asked them for support. Their answer, after 3 days, was “it can’t be done with ZoHo Invoice; we don’t have a solution”. I find that hard to believe as it is the most natural thing in the world to create an invoice for more than 1 item or service, but okay… Now my question: Does anyone have experience with this (especially in combination with ZoHo Invoice? Or does anyone have other suggestions for (and experience with) another service similar to ZoHo Invoice? I understand that I can of course easily create a pdf with “lineitems” with, for example, PDF monkey or Eledo PDF, but the advantage of ZoHo, for example, is that it can actually handle the entire further process; credit notes, reminders, customer portal etc etc etc…and that for free! 😁 Regards and thank you in advance, Ronald ---

> [@Ronald](#): > > I understand that I can of course easily create a pdf with “lineitems” with, for example, PDF monkey I would have recommended this. It’s weird that an invoice system doesn’t support multiple lines. What are their “inputs” for an invoice to be created? ---

Hi ThinhDinh, Thanks for your reply. Well, to be honest they are not very helpful at ZoHo. It is of course only a free service. So my answer has te be; i don’t know. Regards, Ronald ---

Hi @Ronald I have never worked with Zoho Invoice, however there seems to be an API that supports HTTP requests and there is an endpoint that will create an invoice, apparently with multiple line items: [https://www.zoho.com/invoice/api/v3/invoices/#create-an-invoice](https://www.zoho.com/invoice/api/v3/invoices/#create-an-invoice) This would suggest that one could hit Make with a web hook from Glide, then invoke the “Create Invoice” API call directly from there. Certainly food for thought. Regards Mark ---

Hi Manikandan, I created in Glide a webhook in combination with Integromat (Make). In the webhook i grab the data i need to "export including my product data, customer data and a invoice number. Now, connect the glide webhook (in Integromat) to a module. I my case i use Eledo PDF for that. (off course you’ve have to setup your Eledo PDF account including a template). If all done; my pdf is created. Now i’ll export it to my google drive with the appropriate module in Integromat for later use and in my case i’ll upload my pdf file back to Glide with a http request. That’s all. …But Maybe the suggestions from Uzo or Moe\_A are better! I’ll didn’t have time to do some research. Regards, Ronald ---

This looks like the right way to do it. I use PDFMonkey and the process is the same. I wish we have a way to upload files to Glide through the API instead of having to use Drive, though. ---

Apologies, try this link: > [@How to generate a printable Invoice using Glide Apps - SOLVED!](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-to-generate-a-printable-invoice-using-glide-apps-solved/48607): > > In recent times, many App developers have faced the challenge of how to generate a printable invoice (or other document) WITHOUT using CSS or Webhooks or the like. My suggestion: Generate a web page that contains all the Invoice information. From there the user can print out the web page in the usual way. They can even print to PDF. This can be done by creating a Glide Page that shares a Glide table with your Glide App. Now all you need to do is store the invoice info in the shared Glide table… ---

Hey Ronald, Our agency uses Apps Script to make changes in a pre-defined template. We also have a script to send invoices as well! Let me know if any help is required with respect to Apps Scripts. ---

We also use the glide table API to set the PDF link against invoices as well. So whichever method(Google Sheets+Apps Script or Webhook + Glide Tables) you feel comfortable can be achieved.
