How do I retrieve the PDF file of a Pronto form submission?

When a new form submission is made on Prontoforms, I receive an email with a PDF attachment that contains the form submission. How can I retrieve this PDF from a recipe?

Hi Saul, 


You can make a HTTP request using our HTTP connector. You can authenticate your HTTP connection to Prontoforms via Basic authentication. You will need to obtain a set of API key and secret. Read more here: https://support.prontoforms.com/hc/en-us/articles/217496468-Setup-an-API-Application-on-ProntoForms


The following field configurations are required:


Request Method: GET

Request URL: https://api.prontoforms.com/api/1/data/{form.submission.identifier}.pdf 

Response content type: Binary -- since we are retrieving a pdf file content





Once the request has been configured, you can run the recipe to make the request. The PDF file content is returned in the `Body` which is available as a data pill from the step output. You can map this data pill to execute subsequent actions e.g. upload PDF file to another system.
