Thank you! 😊

Thank you Niroshan! Happy to see you here..appreciate the kind words and support

That's great news Sir Ganesh! I am happy it worked out well for you.

Glad you liked it!

You're welcome! Anytime...Hope you find the videos useful.

Thank you! 😃

você é muito bem-vindo! estou feliz por poder ajudar

and you deserve all the good things in life! thank you!

I found the tutorial for gdrive connect. Will watch it ✌️

Hello! thank you for sharing me this. I think this can be address on my next video i'm posting today..stay tuned!

Thank you! anyways, for my case is by default since my account is created via microsoft. But if you're using google or others instead, simply set the file path in your automation to the OneDrive path.

i will look into it sir!

You can do similar by just creating an action that generates a PDF on demand..i will do a video on this this week just for you.

Sorry to hear that. Anyways good news for you..i've made a new video for PDF (Gdrive) edition. Check this out ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-65ixaCUt_Y8.html

Sounds like an interesting concept! Do you have a mockup that you would like to share? email it to me arisazhar.digital@gmail.com and i will have a look what can be done for this

@@aris_azhar I sent you a idea

I am assuming something must have break in between the code which is a good sign that you're in the right direction. We just need some extra tweaking.. perhaps share with me your template so that i can have a look? some insights of your table structure would help too

@@aris_azhar Thanks for the response. I believe my issue was with my formatting. I was able to get it figured out. I am, however, wondering if you know of a way to apply different color coding to responses in the PDF based on responses. An example would be for some Yes or No question prompts that are answered.

That seems possible, in fact very interesting thought you have there good Sir..let me see if i can work out one tutorial for you

@@aris_azhar That would be amazing!

Sure thing! What's the problem youre facing at the moment?

Hello there! if i were to be in that situation, basically two things to check, 1) The trigger event for the both. Whether it is based on data change or schedule. If data change, what is the condition that is required for the trigger eg: Timestamp=NOW() etc 2) To check whether the PDF is overwriting the old file or generating a new one. To check this, ensure "Disable timestamp" is selected. Let me know if this is the case.

I don't understand what's you mean? Do you have a simple video for suggestions? Please

it ask to save the xlsx file and download it but can we just open the file in another tab

My assumption for now would be invalid URL..can you confirm whether the PDF file is being generated in any folder that you've set?

@@aris_azhar I’ll check it out, thx.

How can I find the path if I use Dropbox?

i will look into some options for you and share back soon! sorry for my late response brother

@@aris_azhar ty my friend🙏

@@aris_azhar Still waiting :*)

@@yavuzusullu Oppsss sorry for my late response, was kindda away the other week. Anyways, for your case.. the PDF file generated will automatically be saved into your drive regardless. But to save it to your phone, use the "FILE" url type and set the directory of the file path into the column so that you can open the PDF file from the app. From there, open the PDF file and save it to your device. Alternatively, you can use an email action (Create an action that will email to you or any email column) and use automation that will trigger when to initiate the action. Another option that i would take is using the telegram bot since they can store the file with no issues. Create a group and set the automation to send the pdf file there.

@@aris_azhar thank you so much bro. I will try it

I have the same issue. Can someone help with this
