■Overview
Tired of manually converting image files saved in Box to PDFs and saving them again? In particular, using web tools to manually `convert image to pdf` can be time-consuming and tedious. With this workflow, whenever an image file is uploaded to Box, the RPA feature automatically converts it to a PDF and saves it in the designated folder—eliminating the hassle of file conversion and streamlining your workflow.
■Who should use this template
- Anyone who uses Box and manages image files by converting them to PDFs
- Anyone looking to automate repetitive `convert image to pdf` tasks
- Anyone looking to streamline manual tasks such as file format conversion with RPA
■Benefits of using this template
- Automate the entire process—from uploading an image file to Box to converting and saving it as a PDF—to reduce the time spent on manual work.
- Prevent human errors such as configuration mistakes and missed file saves when manually performing `convert image to pdf` tasks.
■Flowbot workflow
- First, connect Box with Yoom.
- Next, select Box as the trigger, set the “When a file is uploaded to a folder” action, and specify the target folder.
- Next, configure Box’s “Download a file” action as an operation to download the image file detected by the trigger.
- Next, configure the RPA feature’s “Operate the browser” action as an operation, then convert the image file on a website that supports image-to-PDF conversion.
- Finally, configure Box’s “Upload a file” action as an operation to save the converted PDF file in the designated folder.
※“Trigger”: An action that starts the flow. “Operation”: An action that performs a process within the flow after the trigger starts.
■Customization options
- For the RPA feature’s “Operate the browser” action, choose the website you want to use to convert image files to PDFs and configure the specific steps to perform on that website.
■Notes
- Connect Box with Yoom.
- The “Operate the browser” operation is available only on the Success Plan. Please note that operations configured in Flowbots will result in errors on the Free, Mini, and Team Plans.
- Paid plans, including the Success Plan, are available with a two-week free trial. During the free trial, you can use restricted apps and the “Operate the browser” operation.
