How to Take Fields from CRM and Fill PDF Report using PDF.co

CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management. It’s software that manages customer interaction and was mainly designed for Sales, Marketing, and Service. It has morphed into a technology that you can use to manage relationships between team members, collaborators, partners, customers, and vendors.

In this tutorial we will show you how to take fields from your CRM and add them to your PDF file using PDF.co and Zapier.

Every time a New Deal is created in the CRM we want that data to be added to a PDF document. In this scenario, we will use the New Deal as the Trigger. You can use the other Trigger options depending on your requirement.
