Example Use Cases
These are example ways Snow can use PDFMonkey when building apps with you. This list is meant to show examples, not document every possible capability. Connecting an account does not make Snow run these automatically on its own.
Tool to create a Document. Use when you need to instantiate a PDF from a template; set status='pending' to queue immediate generation. Ensure valid `document_template_id` is provided.
Tool to create a document and wait for generation to finish. Use when immediate PDF is needed.
Creates a new PDF document template in PDFMonkey. Use this to define reusable templates with HTML/Liquid content and CSS styles for generating PDF documents. Typical workflow: Create template → Preview with draft content → Publish → Generate documents. The template supports Liquid templating syntax (e.g., {{variable_name}}) for dynamic content injection. Only 'identifier' is required; all other fields have sensible defaults.
Tool to delete a Document by its ID. Use when you need to permanently remove a document after confirming its ID. Returns 204 No Content on success.
Tool to delete a document template by ID. Use when you need to remove obsolete templates after validation.
Tool to download a generated PDF file via a presigned URL. Use after obtaining a valid download_url from the Document details endpoint. Verify document status is 'success' (not 'draft' or 'pending') via PDFMONKEY_GET_DOCUMENT before downloading to avoid incomplete files. The URL expires after 1 hour; fetch a new URL upon expiry (403 Forbidden).
Tool to retrieve details about the currently authenticated user. Use when you need account info (quota, plan, email, locale) after authentication.
Tool to fetch a Document by its ID. Returns the full document record including payload, meta, logs, and download URL. Note: download_url is time-limited; if a download attempt fails, call GetDocument again to obtain a fresh URL. Check the status field for a finalized (non-draft) state before passing the record to downstream processing tools.
Tool to fetch a DocumentCard by ID. Use when you have a DocumentCard ID and need its download URLs, status, and metadata. Use after generating or updating a DocumentCard.
Tool to fetch a Document Template by ID. Use when you need the template's content, styles, settings, and preview URL.
