Good advise on how to do this in a simple/automated way (frequent exporting Monday-documents to pdf)

I’ve created approx 40 different documents with “emergency plans” for our different software systems used in the bank according to legal requirement. The same 40 documents should also be kept/replicated in another way according to the EU legislation. Before it was converted the docs in Monday - they where filed in a Sharepoint system, and we frequently had to print all of documents, and keep them physical.

My thought…
Is it possible to automate a frequent export of the Monday-docs to pdf-files, which I could keep in a anothe type of electronic storage ex. USB-file storage.

Hello @j882269r not directly, but yes with automation.

monday Docs don’t have a scheduled “export to PDF” option yet. You can print a Doc to PDF manually, but if you want this to happen regularly, you’ll need an integration tool like Make or Zapier.

Basic idea:
When a Doc is created or updated
Send it to an automation tool
Turn it into a PDF
Save it to another storage location that you can later copy to USB.

Thank you for your input :blush:

That was also my own conclusion, but I’ll hope for a easy way to do this in the future.

THopefully monday adds this natively soon because a lot of teams need it.
