New File in the Folder? Make Generates a PDF and a Word Doc. Six Steps, Fully Automated!
· 15 min read
Drop a data file (e.g. JSON) into a Dropbox folder and keep a Google Docs template (e.g. Google Docs Template.docx) in the same place. When a new file appears, Make can run automatically: Find Template File gets the template, PDF4me – Generate Document runs twice—once with Data Text (inline JSON) → PDF, once with Data File (the triggered file) → Word—then Upload File saves both. Six modules. Trigger-based. No manual run.
This guide uses authentic screenshots and descriptive image captions so you can follow each step and match the configuration (folder paths, template name, data format, and output file names) in your own Make scenario.
