No coding required—connectors enable drag-and-drop automation to generate PDFs from blog content.
Accelerate content repurposing by turning posts into shareable PDFs automatically.
Scale across teams with consistent templates and branding.
Key elements and processes you’ll encounter include API endpoints, authentication, payloads, and how triggers drive PDF generation.
A defined URL and HTTP method you call to interact with a service.
The data you send in a request or receive in a response, typically JSON.
Credentials that verify who you are (API keys, OAuth).
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in links and endpoints.
Publish a PDF version of each new post as a downloadable lead magnet and capture emails.
Automatically assemble a weekly digest of top posts into a branded PDF newsletter.
Generate author biography PDFs to enhance team pages or sponsor decks.
Create or retrieve API keys for Blogs API and PDFMonkey; secure storage and permission setup.
Configure webhooks or polling to trigger PDF generation on new posts or updates.
Run tests, monitor results, and rollout to production with logging.
The integration connects PDFMonkey to the Blogs API so new or updated posts can automatically generate branded PDFs. Start by authenticating both services, then configure a trigger (such as a new post) and an action (PDF creation). You can customize templates to maintain consistent branding.
No code is required thanks to connectors and visual workflows. Drag-and-drop triggers and actions map Blog post data to PDF templates. If you have developer resources, you can add custom transformations, but basic setup is fully no-code.
Commonly used endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to publish a post, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/authors to fetch author data. For PDF generation, you’ll typically pull post content and metadata and feed it into PDF templates.
Yes. After posts exist, you can run a batch or trigger-based process to generate PDFs for those posts. You can also re-run PDFs if content changes and re-notify stakeholders.
Authentication is typically API keys or OAuth tokens for both PDFs and Blogs APIs, with the necessary scopes. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly.
The data sent includes post title, content, excerpt, author data, and metadata like publish date. Branding templates and PDF configurations are sent to define layout and styling.
Refer to the Blogs API and PDFMonkey documentation for full endpoint lists, sample payloads, and example workflows. You can also explore community templates and tutorials for inspiration.
