Save a recurring webpage view as a PDF
Set a schedule for a page you want to preserve. Cloudlayer converts the supplied URL into a PDF using the page settings you specify.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Convert URL to PDF
Converts a webpage into a PDF.
Why this helps
Important pages can change, leaving no convenient record of what the team reviewed at the time.
- Keep a PDF snapshot for later reference.
- Specify advanced page options such as paper size and margins.
- Reduce repeated manual browser and print-to-PDF steps.

- 1Connect Cloudlayer once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the PDF archive.
- 3Tell Notis to convert the supplied webpage URL to PDF with the page size, margins, and header or footer settings you need.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with the target URL and check the resulting PDF.
