Workflow Overview
ManualTrigger Automate simplifies document conversion by allowing users to manually initiate a workflow that creates an HTML file, converts it to PDF, and saves the result to disk. This integration streamlines the process of generating and storing files, enhancing productivity and efficiency.
- Developers looking to automate document conversion tasks.
- Businesses needing to generate PDF documents from HTML content for reports or presentations.
- Content creators who require a streamlined process to convert web content into downloadable files.
- Project managers needing a quick method to generate and store documentation in PDF format.
This workflow automates the process of converting HTML documents into PDF files, which can be cumbersome and time-consuming if done manually. It eliminates the need for manual conversion, saving time and reducing the risk of errors, while also providing a straightforward way to integrate with external APIs for document handling.
- Manual Trigger: The workflow starts when the user clicks the ‘Test workflow’ button.
- Create HTML: An HTML document is generated with a predefined structure, including a header, section, and footer. This document serves as the content for conversion.
- Convert HTML to File: The generated HTML is converted into a binary format suitable for file handling.
- Convert File to PDF: The binary HTML file is sent to the ConvertAPI service, which processes the conversion to PDF format.
- Write Result File to Disk: The resulting PDF file is saved to disk with the specified filename, making it accessible for future use.
