Question

How do I create a PDF of the invoice, name the file with customized formatting, and email the corrected PDF file to MS Office 365?

I’m looking to automate the monthly retrieval of invoices made on my purchasing card and could use advice on how to set up something like:

Trigger: Invoice is created

Next Action: Create a pdf of the invoice and name the file with customized formatting

Next Action: Email the correctly named pdf to my Office 365 account

Hey there, @csteigle! Thanks so much for reaching out! That’s a great question and we definitely want to help.

Let’s start with which apps are you using for this workflow? 🙂 That’ll give us a good jumping off point! From there I might recommend poking around in the app directory to see 

  1. If Zapier offers the apps
  2. If the triggers/action you’re looking for are an option

Sometimes it helps to think of the zap in terms of "When this happens in [blank] app, do that in [blank] app."

For your first action, if the doc isn’t already formatted as a PDF, there’s an app called Cloud Converter that you can check out that will convert it for you.

Your second action will depend on your email provider but there is a “Send Email” Office 365 action.

I hope some of this helps! Keep us posted with your progress!
