Generate Dynamic PDFs with FillFaster’s monday.com Integration App

In this guide, we will show you how to generate dynamic PDFs using data from monday.com items inside a board. We will set up an automation so that every time we click on the button, all the data from the item will be populated into a PDF file and uploaded back to the board. Let’s see how it works.

An example monday.com board with a 'Generate PDF' button

Go to the Integrations section in your monday.com board. Click on the “Integrate” button. Search for “FillFaster” under Templates. Searching for FillFaster in the monday.com integration templates

Select the FillFaster PDF Generator app and choose the template that generates a PDF file when a button is clicked. Selecting the 'Generate PDF' template recipe from FillFaster

Click “Use template” to select the template.

Once the template is selected, you will see the automation setup screen. Choose the button you want to use to generate the PDF. In this case, select the “Generate PDF” button. If you do not have a button yet, create a new button by clicking on the button option and configuring it as needed. Configuring the automation to trigger when the 'Generate PDF' button is clicked
