This workflow automates the process of converting an XLSX file into a PDF document upon manual trigger. It starts with a manual trigger, then downloads a sample XLSX file from a specified URL, sends the file to an external API for conversion to PDF, and finally saves the resulting PDF file to disk. The workflow includes an informational sticky note to remind users about API authentication needs.
**Step-by-step:**
1. Manual Trigger: Initiates the workflow when the user clicks ‘Test workflow’.
2. Download XLSX: Uses an HTTP request to download a sample XLSX file from a public URL.
3. Convert to PDF: Sends the downloaded XLSX file via a POST request to ConvertAPI, an external file conversion service, to convert it into a PDF.
4. Save PDF: Writes the converted PDF file to disk with the filename ‘document.pdf’.
**Use case:**
This workflow is useful for automating the conversion of spreadsheets to PDFs for reports, archiving, or sharing purposes without manual intervention, especially useful for batch processes or scheduled conversions.
