Auto-Convert OneDrive Word Docs to PDF & Email via Gmail

This n8n workflow automates document conversion for sales and document management teams. It monitors a specified OneDrive folder for new Microsoft Word documents, downloads them upon detection, converts to PDF format using the Foxit developer API for consistent, browser-friendly viewing, and emails the PDF directly to a reviewer via Gmail.

The process streamlines workflows where incoming documents are dropped into cloud storage, eliminating manual conversion steps. Key nodes include OneDrive trigger for file monitoring, conditional download for Word files (.docx), Foxit API integration for high-quality PDF conversion, and Gmail node for secure emailing. This setup ensures PDFs are generated reliably without local software dependencies.

Ideal for sales automation, legal reviews, or client onboarding where standardized formats reduce errors and speed up approvals. Benefits include time savings (no manual exports), improved readability across devices, and scalability for high-volume folders. Customize by expanding to other Office formats or uploading PDFs back to OneDrive.

Requirements: Microsoft OneDrive account, Foxit developer API key (https://developer-api.foxit.com), and Gmail credentials. Test with a monitored folder ID to avoid unintended triggers.
