I’m facing a challenge with uploading PDFs generated from HTML to a column in monday.com. I’ve explored two methods for converting HTML to PDF:
Using Chromium: This method seems complex given how monday.com manages Dockerfiles and servers, making it a less viable option(tested) for my scenario.
Using an API: This approach successfully generates a PDF and provides a direct URL to the PDF file. However, the Add File to Column mutation appears not to accept a URL string directly, and I don’t receive a file buffer that I could upload.
I’m at an impasse where I can’t use Chromium to generate a buffer, and the API method doesn’t fit the Add File to Column query’s requirements. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or can offer a workaround to either convert the HTML to a buffer without Chromium or upload a file using a URL? Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
I understand that an easy alternative could be to simply drop the PDF link, but I prefer to keep users within the platform and make the experience as seamless as possible. Thank you!
