Make (Integromat) Integration

Open Make and create a new scenario. Add a trigger module that provides a PDF URL:

• Google Drive — "Watch Files"
• Dropbox — "Watch Files"
• Email (IMAP) — "Watch Emails" with attachment links
• Webhooks — "Custom Webhook" to receive URLs from external systems

Click the + after your trigger and add HTTP → Make a request. Configure the module:

• URL: https://api.pdfpipe.dev/v1/convert
• Method: POST
• Headers:
  Authorization: Bearer pk_live_your_key_here
Content-Type: application/json
• Body type: Raw
• Content type: JSON (application/json)

In the Request content field, enter:

{
  "url": "{{1.fileUrl}}",
  "format": "json"
}

Replace {{1.fileUrl}} with the mapped value from your trigger module. Adjust the format to text, markdown, csv, or any other supported format.

Check Parse response in the HTTP module settings. Make will automatically parse the JSON response, giving you access to individual fields:

{
  "requestId": "req_01J9X7K2M...",
  "status": "complete",
  "format": "json",
  "pagesProcessed": 4,
  "creditsUsed": 1,
  "resultUrl": "https://pdfpipe-results.s3..."
}

The resultUrl contains a presigned link to download the converted output.

Add another HTTP → Get a file module pointed at the resultUrl to download the converted data. Then route it to your destination:

• Google Sheets — add rows from extracted data
• Airtable — create records
• Slack / Email — send a notification with extracted text
• Data Store — save for later processing

For PDFs over 10 MB, the API returns 202 with a pollUrl. Use a Repeater module combined with a Sleep module and a Router with a filter:

1. Set the Repeater to run up to 30 iterations
2. Add a Sleep module with a 5-second delay
3. Add an HTTP GET module to poll https://api.pdfpipe.dev/v1/status/:requestId
4. Add a Router — one path continues when status = complete, the other loops

See the Async Polling guide for the full pattern.
