· 20 min read

Every Swiss invoice must carry a Swiss QR Bill so banks and accounting software can scan and process the payment automatically. With Power Automate and PDF4me the addition is a four-action flow: Manually trigger, Dropbox Get file content, PDF4me Barcode - Create SwissQR Bill, Dropbox Create file. The screenshots below walk through the exact run captured in the canvas. A 10-page invoice in /pdf4metest/sample becomes a Swiss-compliant invoice with the payment slip appended and uploaded to /pdf4meoutput with a unique file name. Production-ready in under 10 minutes.

The flow at a glance
1. Manually trigger a flow
Manual trigger for testing. Swap for SharePoint When a file is created or any storage trigger in production.
2. Dropbox Get file content
Reads the 10-page invoice from /pdf4metest/sample/10 page.pdf with Infer Content Type Yes.
3. PDF4me Barcode - Create SwissQR Bill
Appends the QR payment slip with CHF, QRR reference, English labels, custom Paging Options to land on page 3.
4. Dropbox Create file
Writes the populated PDF to /pdf4meoutput with a unique guid()+headers/FileName so re-runs do not collide.

Every Swiss invoice must carry a Swiss QR Bill so banks and accounting software can scan and process the payment automatically. With Zapier and PDF4me the addition is a four-step Zap: Dropbox New File in Folder, Dropbox Find File, PDF4me Create Swiss QR Bill, Dropbox Upload File. The screenshots below walk through the exact run captured in the canvas: a 10-page invoice in /pdf4metest/Swiss-RP becomes a Swiss-compliant invoice with the payment slip appended and saved to /pdf4meoutput. Production-ready in under 10 minutes.

The Zap at a glance
1. Dropbox New File in Folder
Watches /pdf4metest/Swiss-RP every 2 minutes. Trigger fires when a new invoice PDF lands.
2. Dropbox Find File
Resolves the file by name (10 page.pdf) and pulls the binary, ready for the next step.
3. PDF4me Create Swiss QR Bill
Appends the QR payment slip with all required SPS fields: CHF, QRR reference, English, Line with Scissor separator.
4. Dropbox Upload File
Writes the populated PDF to /pdf4meoutput. File Name and File Extension carried from the PDF4me output.

Insert a Swiss QR Bill on a Custom Page Number in Power Automate (4-Action Dropbox Flow with PDF4me)

Most Swiss QR-bill tutorials put the payment slip on page 1 (or append it to the end). Real invoices often need it somewhere in the middle: a 10-page contract pack where the QR-bill belongs right after the summary, or a quarterly statement where the slip should follow the cover page. The PDF4me Power Automate connector handles that in one action via Paging Options = custom plus a Page Number field. This guide walks through the exact run captured in the canvas: /pdf4metest/sample/10 page.pdf becomes a Swiss-compliant file with the QR-bill inserted as page 3, then uploaded to /pdf4meoutput with a guid-prefixed name so re-runs do not collide. 4 actions, zero code, runs in seconds.

The flow at a glance
1. Manually trigger a flow
Manual trigger for testing. Swap for any storage trigger in production.
2. Dropbox Get file content
Reads /pdf4metest/sample/10 page.pdf with Infer Content Type Yes.
3. PDF4me Barcode - Create SwissQR Bill
Output Format Type PNG (try PDF for hybrid). Paging Options custom, Page Number 3. All payment fields filled.
4. Dropbox Create file
Writes to /pdf4meoutput. File Name built from guid() plus headers/FileName so every run lands as a unique file.

Every Swiss invoice must carry a Swiss QR Bill so banks and accounting software can scan and process the payment automatically. With Make and PDF4me, the addition is a three-module scenario: Dropbox Download a File, PDF4me Create Swiss QR-bill, Dropbox Upload a File. The screenshots below walk through the exact run shown in the canvas: a 10-page invoice at /pdf4metest/Files/10 page.pdf becomes a Swiss-compliant invoice with the payment slip appended and saved to /pdf4meoutput/. Production-ready in under 10 minutes.

The scenario at a glance
1. Dropbox Download a File
Reads /pdf4metest/Files/10 page.pdf. Scheduled trigger (clock badge) is shown but any trigger works.
2. PDF4me Create Swiss QR-bill
Appends the QR payment slip to the source PDF. Currency, IBAN, creditor + debtor blocks, reference filled out.
3. Dropbox Upload a File
Writes the populated PDF to /pdf4meoutput/. File Name and Data mapped from the prior step.

Create Swiss QR Bill in n8n: Two Complete Workflows (With and Without an Existing PDF)

· 25 min read
SEO and Content Writer

Every Swiss invoice must carry a Swiss QR Bill (also called Swiss QR payment slip) so that banks and accounting software can scan and process the payment automatically. n8n and PDF4me make that generation fully automatic. This guide walks through two production-ready workflows: one that overlays the QR slip onto an existing PDF already in Dropbox, and one that generates a standalone QR Bill document from payment data alone with no background PDF required. Both run in under 10 minutes to set up.

Two workflows covered in this guide
Workflow A (4 nodes)
Trigger → Download PDF → Create SwissQR (Binary Data) → Upload. Output: 602 kB. Best when you already have a PDF invoice in Dropbox.
Workflow B (3 nodes)
Trigger → Create SwissQR (None) → Upload. Output: 132 kB. Best when you only have payment data and need a standalone QR slip.

Swiss QR Bills Piling Up in Dropbox? Auto-Rename Them in Zapier with Code by Zapier

· 13 min read
SEO and Content Writer

Swiss QR invoice PDFs, payment slips, bills, receipts, arrive with generic names. You need them renamed by debtor, creditor, amount, or reference so you can search, reconcile, and file them. Manual renaming doesn’t scale.

The fix: A Zapier Zap in four steps, no Find File needed. New File in Folder (trigger) gives you the file directly. Read SwissQR Code (PDF4me) extracts the QR-bill data as JSON. Code by Zapier parses it and pulls out the field you want (debtor ud_Name, creditor cr_Name, IBAN, or reference). Upload File saves the same PDF with the new name. Same file, searchable filename, every time.

This guide walks you through each step. Every field, folder path, and mapping is fact-checked from the Zapier screenshots.

Dropbox Full of Swiss Payment Slips? Let Make Name Them by Creditor or Reference

You get PDFs, invoices, payment slips, each with a Swiss QR code that holds who’s paying, how much, and which reference. You want those files renamed by that data so you can find and sort them in a snap. Doing it by hand doesn’t scale.

The fix: A Make scenario with five modules: Watch Files (Dropbox) → Download a File (Dropbox) → Read SwissQR Code (PDF4me) to extract the Swiss QR-bill data → Parse JSON so fields like creditor name and IBAN are easy to use → Upload a File (Dropbox) with the same PDF and a new filename built from those fields. Same file, better filename, zero manual renaming.

This guide walks you through each step. All parameters below are fact-checked from the Make UI in the screenshots so you can follow along with confidence.

You get PDFs, invoices, payment slips, each with a Swiss QR code that holds who’s paying, how much, and which reference. You want those files renamed by that data so you can find and sort them in a snap. Doing it by hand doesn’t scale.

The fix: an n8n workflow that downloads the PDF, uses Read Swiss QR Code (PDF4me) to pull out that structured payment data, merges it with the file, and uploads it with a new name, by creditor, amount, reference, or whatever you need. Same file, better filename, zero manual renaming.

This guide walks you through the full flow: download the PDF, read its Swiss QR code, then merge and upload with a filename built from the data you care about, creditor name and city, amount and reference, or debtor details.
