Create PDF Report Generator recipe
Create a PDF Report Generator recipe for a board or single item
Follow the step-by-step assistant for generating a report.
In step 3 you can save all settings as a PDF Report Generator recipe in order to reuse them again in an automation/integration. For a single item you have to save the settings as a recipe. Please specify a name for the recipe so that you can easily identify it later when creating the automation, e.g. "Create NDA" or "Send invoice".
Add an automation
Click on integrate (next to "Automate").
Search for "PDF Report Generator" and select it.
You will find four different automation recipes: 1 Board Recipe and 3 Item Recipes Select one recipe that suits your use case and fill in the parameters.
1) Board recipe: Time period
Example: Every Friday create a board report using PDF Report Generator recipe "Weekly Status Report".
2) Item recipe: Status integration
Example: Changing the Status to Done, creates a new report based on the PDF Report Generator recipe "Project Status Report".
3) Item recipe: Button integration
Example: Clicking on the button Generate PDF, creates a new report based on the PDF Report Generator recipe "Portfolio Report". In order to use the button integration you need a column that contains a button. You can also create a new one on the fly while adding the integration.
4) Item recipe: Date integration
Example: 1 day after the timeline end date is reached, create a new report based on the PDF Report Generator recipe "ProjectReport".
Add the integration to your board. All done. If you now change the status/click a specific button or a certain date is reached, a report will automatically be created (and by choice also send via email).
