PDF Generator Extension
The PDF Generator extension allows Gravity Flow administrators to create PDFs at any point in a workflow. PDF templates are configured using merge tags—similar to notifications—making it easy to generate customized documents based on entry data without writing code or managing external template files.
Key Capabilities
Create PDFs Within the Workflow
Add a PDF Generator step at any stage of the workflow to automatically generate a PDF when the step is triggered. PDFs can include any entry data through the use of merge tags.
Use Simple, Merge-Tag-Driven Templates
PDF templates are created directly in the step settings using the same editor and merge tag system used for notifications, keeping configuration simple and familiar.
Support for Conditional Logic and Scheduling
Like other Gravity Flow steps, PDF Generator steps can use conditional logic, be scheduled for delayed execution, and fit naturally into complex workflows.
Attach PDFs to Notifications
Generated PDFs can be automatically attached to workflow notifications, making it easy to deliver documents such as confirmations, summaries, or approval records.
