Been stuck on an Automation problem all day.

I just wanted to share! Thats all. 🙃

Edit: Finally solved it. I created an automation for a private chef service that needed a PDF generated with the details of their new customer each time a form was submitted. They wanted it to look nice as well. Weirdly enough there were no built options to go from HTML to PDF besides paid versions or available on self-hosted n8n.

What did I do? I coded an API that converts my HTML into a PDF and sends it back to my n8n workflow. Hosted it on vercel for free for the customer. AI is cool.

Also I spent about 2 hours trying to get the CSS to load in the final PDF. Still no idea why it wasn't working originally but I found another way!
