Give your warehouse a printable packing slip the moment an order lands in Airtable.

Every new record in your orders table is rendered by PDF Generator API into a branded packing slip and archived to Google Drive, so picking and packing runs off a real document instead of a screen.

Prepare your Airtable table first. It needs these fields, named exactly:

Order number, Customer company, Address line 1, City, Country, Country code, Item name, SKU, Quantity

You also need a Created time field, which the trigger uses to spot new records. Airtable triggers do not work without a Created time or Last modified time field, so add one if your table has none.

One record is one packing slip with one line item. Country code is the two letter code such as DE or FR.

You also need a PDF Generator API template, which controls how the packing slip looks. Pick one during setup, or start from a free packing slip template in your account and restyle it in the drag and drop editor.

FAQ

Start by registering for Make. As a new Make user, you’ll automatically be assigned a free account. Once your account is set up, you can start creating your first scenarios. We recommend starting with our step-by-step video tutorial.

A scenario represents a workflow or a project of your own creation, and it is made up of a series of modules that automate apps and services. Creating a scenario allows you to transfer and transform data between apps and services via these modules to automate anything and improve the way you work.

Modules are the main building blocks of automation in Make. Modules represent actions that Make performs with an app, like creating, updating, or deleting data.

Mapping links the modules in your scenario. When you map an item, you connect the data retrieved by one module to another module to perform the desired action. For example, you can map email addresses and subject lines to create a spreadsheet using this data.

How it works

Traditional no-code iPaaS platforms are linear and non-intuitive. Make allows you to visually create, build, and automate without limits.
