Hi everyone.  
I tried to use PDF MONKEY integration. Everything is working perfectly. The link is also generated, but the problem is when I try to open the link the pdf is blank.

Probably done this already but I noted at times when I built integrations with pdfmonkey the link did not appear if the pdf document as not created due to an error. Make sure in the History section of pdfmonkey there are no issues.

First, in PDF Monkey I “add a template”  
Then I assign a name to the  
Later, on edition mode I select Visual and create the template.  
Afterwards, I copy the template id that is been generated and paste it in the glide pdf monkey section.  
Screenshot attached.

I tried PDFMonkey and couldn’t figure out how to map Glide columns to the template.

I gave up and tried DocsAutomator and it was a breeze!
