Is it possible to generate a pdf file and send it as an attachment using IFTTT macro?

Question

Hi,

I have this survey that I have build using ConfiForms. When an applicant fills out the survey, results are stored in the table and managers have access to the table.

I am wondering, if It is possible to generate a pdf file with applicant's responses and send it to the manager as an attachment? I checked IFTTT macro and saw there are different options but I am not able to find anything connected to pdf.

I would greatly appreciate your advice. Thank you!

No, I dont think the PDF export can do anything like that. If the page is dynamically updated (and using the pagination from ConfiForms actually updates the contents of a page dynamically) the PDF functionality knows nothing about it and works on the storage format (basically means that it works on the rendering of an "initial page view")

You probably need a designated page for each response separately

@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_thank you very much for sharing this, link works as you said!

I noticed that it downloads whatever is on that page at the moment, and I have 1st applicants response. I configured that each applicant's response is on a different page, like on the pic. First page has the very 1st response, and the last page has the newest one.

Do you think it is possible to add some value to that link you shared, to make it download the result from 7th page (the newest one) and not from the 1st page?

Or maybe there is a way to configure that the newest response comes to the 1st page and not to the last page. I was looking for it and not able to find where to change that. The number of responses per page I configured in ConfiForms ListView there is a section called Pagination.

You can see the link if you hover over this menu item

For example, the link on our landing page https://wiki.vertuna.com/ to export it,  is https://wiki.vertuna.com/spaces/flyingpdf/pdfpageexport.action?pageId=1212451

Clicking on this link will generate a PDF for you immediately.

So including the link like this into your email message body should fulfil your requirements
