Describe the flow you need, at any depth, and your agent builds it and tests every scenario before it ships. Everything your agent can do with Doclift PDF and Pdforge ## Triggers and actions 1 trigger · 24 actions - Trigger **New PDF Document Generated** Webhook trigger for Doclift's async document-generation completion callback (POST.../webhooks/doclift, X-Doclift-Signature: sha256=hmac). Delivery URL is configured manually on the external application in the Doclift dashboard — no register/list/delete API exists. Fires once per document_request (all its documents_generations resolved to success/error), payload includes id, tag, type, timestamp, documents_generations[] (generation_status, file{filename,url,size}). - Action **Add Template** create a custom (HTML-body) template: title, description, content, orientation, margins, optional variables_attributes. Server forces category=custom. - Action **Add Variable** create a variable on a custom template: title (unique, naming pattern), description, field_type (text/checkbox/radio/select/collection, default text), seed_value, allowed_values. - Action **Delete Template** removes a custom template (scope restricted to category=custom, non-archived, same org). - Action **Get Document Request** status and documents_generations detail (signed file url, valid 2 hours) for one document request. - Action **Get Template** full template detail including variables and content (custom templates); works for any published template of the three categories. - Action **List Document Requests** list document generation requests with id, tag, type, status, documents_generations (each with generation_status and file url). - Action **List Templates** returns published, non-archived templates (custom/fillable_form/workflow) for the organization: id, title, description. - Action **List Variables** all variables of a custom, non-archived template: id, title, description, field_type, allowed_values (no pagination, no seed_value). - Action **Publish Template** marks a custom template published (usable for document generation). - Action **Unpublish Template** marks a custom template unpublished. - Action **Update Variable** update description/field_type/allowed_values/title of a variable; allowed_values replaces the stored array. - Action **Add template** Starts AI creation of a new PDF template from a text prompt (and optional reference file). Creation runs asynchronously and usually takes a couple of minutes; the returned template id can be used to check its status. - Action **Compress PDF** Compresses a PDF from a public URL to reduce its file size, returning a signed download URL for the compressed file. - Action **Convert HTML to PDF** Converts HTML into a PDF (or PNG) synchronously and returns a temporary signed URL to the generated file. If rendering takes longer than 30 seconds, the job is queued and a request id and status URL are returned instead. - Action **Convert Markdown to PDF** Convert Markdown text (headings, lists, tables, code blocks) into a styled PDF document. - Action **Generate PDF from template** Generates a PDF (or PNG) from one of your PDF Noodle templates and waits for it to finish, returning a temporary download link. - Action **Get PDF status** Retrieve the status of a single PDF generation request, and its download link once rendering succeeds. - Action **Get template** Retrieves a template's full details, or its creation status if it is still being created with AI. - Action **Get template variables** Retrieves the variable schema for a template: every data placeholder (including nested objects and arrays) that can be supplied when generating a PDF from it. - Action **Get tool status** Retrieve the status of a PDF tool operation (merge, split, compress, markdown to PDF, metadata update) using the request id returned by an async request or a synchronous request that timed out. - Action **List templates** Lists every template available in your pdf noodle account, with each template's id and display name. - Action **Merge PDFs** Combine two or more publicly accessible PDF files into a single PDF, merged in the order given. Returns a temporary download link to the merged file, or a request id to check later when the merge runs in the background. - Action **Split PDF** Split a single PDF into multiple smaller PDFs by page ranges or regular intervals. - Action **Update PDF metadata** Updates the embedded metadata (title, author, subject, keywords and more) of a PDF at a public URL and returns a link to the updated file. The original PDF content is preserved. ## Each app on its own - [ **Doclift PDF** Doclift PDF is PDF-as-a-service for your platform to create dynamic PDFs with the online editor or generate...](https://apiant.ai/connections/doclift-pdf) - [ **Pdforge** No-code builder and API for generating PDF documents/reports at scale for SaaS apps.](https://apiant.ai/connections/pdforge) Reviews ## What our customers say ## More from Doclift PDF - [ **Doclift PDF to Dungeons and Dragons** The D&D 5th Edition API (dnd5eapi.co) is a public reference database for the Dungeons and Dragons 5e System...](https://apiant.ai/connect/doclift-pdf-to-dungeons-and-dragons) - [ **Doclift PDF to FutureAGI** FutureAGI is a platform for evaluating and optimizing AI systems to ensure performance, safety, and...](https://apiant.ai/connect/doclift-pdf-to-futureagi) - [ **Doclift PDF to ItsThisForThat** ItsThisForThat generates random "X for Y" startup ideas — the classic mashup pitch format.](https://apiant.ai/connect/doclift-pdf-to-itsthisforthat) - [ **Doclift PDF to HubSpot** HubSpot is your all-in-one stop for all of your marketing software needs.](https://apiant.ai/connect/doclift-pdf-to-hubspot) - [ **Doclift PDF to Salesforce** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/doclift-pdf-to-salesforce) - [ **Doclift PDF to Slack** Slack is a messaging platform for teams.
