HTML to PDF (wonky)
by / February 19, 2024
There are circumstances when you’d like to email PDF attachments but your workflow requires a function. Zoho has no native HTML to PDF conversion facility, but this can be solved using a 3rd party HTML to PDF converter and the CRM functions, toFile and attachFile. Here is a code snippet that demonstrates this.
html = "<!DOCTYPE html><html><body><h1>My First Heading</h1><p>My first paragraph.</p></body></html>"; key = "myAPIKey"; headers = map(); headers.put("Content-Type","application/json"); dataMap = map(); dataMap.put("key",key); dataMap.put("html",html); tCustomer = zoho.crm.getRecordById("TCustomers", ###############); result = invokeurl [ url: "https://api.easypdfserver.com/make-pdf" type: POST parameters: dataMap.toString() headers: headers ]; resp = zoho.crm.attachFile("TCustomers", tCustomer.get("id"), result); info resp; sendmail [ from: zoho.loginuserid to: zoho.loginuserid subject: "test attachment" message: "we are testing attachments" Attachments :file:result ]In the above example I am making use of EasyPDFServer to perform the HTML to PDF conversion. Once I get the file (result) it’s simply a matter of saving the attachment and then attaching it to an outgoing email. If you are concerned about storage, don’t save the attachment to a module.
