OnParallel + SignWell API issues - none of them can get PDFs
Status: Closed · Asked by Anders Nielsen on · 0 views
Hi,
I'm trying to get a PDF from onparallel.com. Since it is not integrated in Pabbly Connect I am using the API. This is the workflow:
https://connect.pabbly.com/workflow/mapping/IjU3NjUwNTY5MDYzMTA0M2Q1MjY4NTUzZDUxM2Ii_pc
According to onparallel support step 5 in my flow is the correct way of getting the PDF. However I get: "The application processed the request but returned a blank response. Refer to the HTTP status code above for details." And their support told me that my request is correct however. They tell me this (see screenshots) - that it seems format=pdf is converted to a array when it should be plain text. How do i fix this issue?


2. I also have a problem with Signwell here:
https://connect.pabbly.com/workflow/mapping/IjU3NjUwNTY5MDYzZTA0MzU1MjZlNTUzYzUxMzQi_pc
The issue is that in step 3 I also try to get a signed PDF however that also fails and SignWell support also says that it is done correct and that I should contact Pabbly.
How do I fix these?
Maybe they are related - because they both relate to downloading a PDF?
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
All the best

Could you let us know if the endpoint you're using includes the attachment in its response? If it does, unfortunately, displaying the attachment directly in the response is not feasible.

Kindly share the CURL request of the same endpoint from your Postman application once.

I have asked about this now. So Pabbly only supports it if it is the URL?

I only use Pabbly Connect. I don't use Postman and I don't know how to do that. I have all the code I use in the workflow I shared earlier.

Parallel Teams support said this:

So how can I use the PDF in my Pabbly flows then?
Is the only way really to use Zapier?

I fixed problem 2 by passing this parameters:
url_only = true and therefore getting the URL.
However problem 1 with Parallel is still not solved.

The parallel teams rocks!
Based on this issue I was experiencing the have decided to roll out better support for Pabbly :-D So maybe this will solve itself,

Sure! do let us know.
@Supreme I will :-)
@Supreme Ok, Parralel support replied back and already implemented it. Do GET request to this and you get the exported PDF :cool:
https://www.onparallel.com/api/v1/petitions/{petitionid}/export?format=pdf&noredirect=true
Replace {petitionid} with the petition ID obviously.
Wow! That's great I hope your automation is getting the file URL or the desired attachment in the response.
@Supreme It gets the file URL. That was the new feature they added. Because you mentioned that Pabbly Connect could not receive the PDF as a binary PDF - or did I misunderstand?
did I misunderstand?
We can only handle attachment files through their URL in the trigger response, not in their physical form.
@Supreme Ok thanks, so I understood correctly.
