Automating PDF Generation and Email Sending with Adalo, PDF Generator API, and Gmail

Introduction to Adalo and PDF Generation

Adalo is a powerful no-code platform that allows users to create custom mobile apps without extensive coding knowledge. One of its key features is the ability to generate PDF documents directly within the app. This functionality is made possible through the integration of the PDF Generator API, enabling users to create and customize PDFs with ease.

The Challenge: Automating PDF Document Sending via Email

While generating PDFs within Adalo is straightforward, automating the process of sending these documents to recipients via email can be more complex. This is where integrations with services like Zapier or Integromat/Make come into play. These automation tools allow users to connect different apps and services, creating workflows that streamline tasks such as sending emails with PDF attachments.

Using Zapier for Automation

• Zapier is a popular automation tool that supports a wide range of apps and services, including Gmail.
• By creating a Zap, users can automate tasks such as sending emails with PDF attachments generated from Adalo.
• This process involves connecting Adalo to Zapier, setting up a trigger for when a PDF is generated, and then configuring the action to send an email via Gmail with the PDF attached.

Exploring Integromat/Make for Advanced Automation

• Integromat, now known as Make, offers more advanced automation capabilities compared to Zapier.
• It provides a visual interface for creating scenarios that can automate complex workflows, including generating PDFs in Adalo and sending them via Gmail.
• Make supports a wide range of modules for different apps and services, making it a versatile tool for automating tasks related to PDF generation and email sending.

Implementing Automation with Adalo, PDF Generator API, and Gmail

To implement automation using Adalo, the PDF Generator API, and Gmail, follow these steps:

1. Set Up Adalo and PDF Generator API: First, ensure that Adalo is integrated with the PDF Generator API to enable PDF creation within your app.
2. Choose an Automation Tool: Decide whether to use Zapier or Integromat/Make based on your specific needs and the complexity of your automation requirements.
3. Configure the Automation Workflow: Create a new Zap or scenario that triggers when a PDF is generated in Adalo. Then, set the action to send an email via Gmail with the PDF attached or included in the body.
4. Test the Automation: Once the workflow is set up, test it to ensure that PDFs are generated and sent correctly to the intended recipients.

Conclusion

Automating the process of generating PDFs in Adalo and sending them via Gmail can significantly enhance the functionality of your app and streamline user experience. By leveraging tools like Zapier or Integromat/Make, you can create efficient workflows that save time and reduce manual effort.
