Using Webhook for Advanced Automation Workflow

If uploading your PDF back to a monday.com board is not sufficient, you can start a custom automation workflow by sending the PDF from Eledo to a webhook.

In this guide, we will create a simple Make scenario that:

  • sends the PDF as an email attachment
  • uploads it back to a monday.com board

Obtaining Webhook URL​

Create a new Make scenario and start with a Webhook module.

  1. Create a new webhook
  2. Copy its URL

The Make scenario will now wait for the first request to determine the data structure.

Add an Integration Recipe to your monday.com board and use the webhook URL from your Make scenario.

Trigger the Integration Recipe and wait for confirmation in Make.

After a successful document creation, you should see a “Successfully determined” message in the Make webhook module.

Data Structure​

Data sent from Eledo to the webhook contains two parts:

  • transaction data (JSON format)
  • PDF file (binary format)

The PDF file can be mapped directly to other modules (for example, Email or monday.com upload).

To extract values from the JSON data, use a JSON Parse module after the webhook.

Preparing JSON Structure​

To configure the JSON parser, you need to define the expected data structure.

This depends on your template, but typically includes:

  • boardId (number)
  • itemId (number)
  • file (collection)

The file collection contains data used to generate the PDF (including local variables). It does not include all column values from the monday.com item—only those used in the template.

Generating the Structure​

You can generate the structure automatically:

  1. Run your Make scenario
  2. Trigger document creation from monday.com
  3. Open the scenario run log
  4. Copy the JSON payload returned by Eledo
  5. Use it to generate the JSON structure

PDF Post-processing​

Once the scenario is configured, you can perform additional actions in Make.

For example:

  • retrieve additional data from monday.com
  • send the PDF via email
  • upload the PDF to monday.com, cloud storage, or ERP systems

Example: Send Email​
