Hi,

I’m on a Maker Plan, and I’m trying to generate a PDF using PDFMonkey with some information from my app. However, I’m having trouble setting up the placeholders correctly so that PDFMonkey can find the data.

When adding values in “Add Value”, how should I structure the information so that PDFMonkey recognizes and correctly replaces the placeholders in the PDF template?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Have you constructed the variables in PDFMonkey? You can have it like this:

{{ variable }}

Then in the “Test data” section, have a JSON that includes those variables to test the generation inside PDFMonkey.

Once you’re done, add those variables into the “Add Value” part in Glide and reference the columns.
