Popular Zapier workflows

Form to PDF

When a form is submitted in Typeform, Google Forms, or JotForm, automatically generate a PDF document with the submitted data.

CRM to Invoice

When a deal closes in HubSpot or Salesforce, generate a branded invoice PDF and email it to the client.

Blog to Social Image

When a new blog post is published in WordPress, auto-generate social media images for Bluesky, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

E-commerce Receipt

When an order is placed in Shopify or WooCommerce, generate a PDF receipt and attach it to the order confirmation email.

Certificate Generation

When a student completes a course in Teachable or Thinkific, generate a personalized certificate PDF.

Report Automation

On a recurring schedule, pull data from Google Sheets and generate a formatted PDF report for stakeholders.

Job Completion Trigger

Use the "New Completed Job" trigger to react the moment a document is ready — save to Google Drive, send via email, or update a database row automatically.

DOCX to PDF Pipeline

When a DOCX file is uploaded to Dropbox or Google Drive, automatically convert it to a polished PDF and share the result with your team via Slack or email.

How to set up your Zap

Search for "cloudlayer" in the Zapier app directory and add it to your Zap as an action step. Authenticate with your cloudlayer.io API key, then choose whether to generate a PDF or an image.

Map fields from your trigger app directly to cloudlayer.io template variables. A customer name from your CRM becomes {{customerName}} in your template. Zapier handles the data mapping visually — no JSON formatting required.

Add a follow-up action to deliver the generated document: email it via Gmail, save to Google Drive, post to Slack, or pass it to any of Zapier's 5,000+ connected apps.

Trigger Sources

Form submissions, spreadsheet rows, CRM updates, payment events, webhooks, scheduled triggers, and more.

Actions Available

10 create actions (PDF, image, DOCX, merge), 3 search actions, and a polling trigger for completed jobs.

Field Mapping

Map trigger data to template variables visually in the Zapier editor. No JSON formatting — just pick from dropdowns.

Multi-Step Zaps

Chain actions: generate a document, then email it, save to Drive, and notify Slack — all in a single Zap.

Configure cloudlayer.io

Choose PDF or image generation, select a template or provide HTML, and map your trigger data to template fields using Zapier's visual field mapper.
