The "Merge Two PDFs Together" action within the Workflow Media Manager Actions app by Integration Glue allows you to combine two separate PDF documents into a single, unified PDF file. This action is useful when you need to consolidate multiple documents, such as contracts, reports, or invoices, into one file for streamlined processing, sharing, or archiving.
The action automatically takes the two specified PDF files and merges them into one continuous document, preserving the order and content of both PDFs. This can help simplify workflows by reducing the number of documents you need to manage and share.
This action is particularly useful when:
- You need to combine multiple files into one document for easier distribution.
- You are managing contracts or invoices that need to be merged before sending to clients or partners.
- You want to automate the process of creating consolidated reports from various PDF sources.
- Folder ID of the output file is the ID of the folder where you want to save the merged PDF file. In HubSpot, files are stored in folders, and this field specifies which folder will contain the merged PDF.
- URL of the first PDF file The URL for the first PDF document that will be merged. This is typically the file URL of the first document you want to include in the merged file
- URL of the second PDF file Similar to the first one, this is the URL for the second PDF document that will be merged with the first PDF
- Name of the output PDF file The name you want to give to the merged PDF file once the two PDFs are combined. This name will be used when saving or referencing the final document.
- Output property for generated PDF link A HubSpot property where the URL of the newly created, merged PDF file will be stored. This allows you to reference and use the PDF link elsewhere in your HubSpot workflow
- Visibility of the output file Determines who can access the merged PDF file. You can set the visibility to make the file either private or shared, based on who needs access to it within your organization or externally
