Print Side by Side Name Tags

Status: Open Ā· Asked by DaveOfLatrobe on Ā· 0 views

DaveOfLatrobe — Question Ā·

I think that what I am trying to do is fairly simple. I have a table (Brothers) in Grist that has First Name, Last Name and Room Number (plus other fields not needed here). I want to generate a PDF that I can use to print the name tags. The name tags have a background image and I print the same name tag side by side so I can fold it in half and the name appears on both sides of the lanyard. Please see the attached file for how I want the name tags to appear. I am new to Pabbly so I am not sure if this is in your wheelhouse of if I need to look for a different option. Thank you and have a great day.

Hi @DaveOfLatrobe,

The use case you are describing is possible. You just need to follow the steps given below:

  1. Set up Grist: New Record as the Trigger App.
  2. Set up Google Docs: Create Document from Template as the Action App to create a document from your template.
  3. Set up Google Drive: Share a File With Anyone as the Action App to make the document publicly accessible.
  4. Set up Google Drive: Upload a File as the Action App to upload your PDF File.

The relevant part is between 18:50 and 40:00. Please disregard the trigger application.
