Auto-Convert OneDrive Word Documents to PDF with Foxit and Send via Gmail

## This n8n template demonstrates how to add a document conversion process to incoming Word documents in a OneDrive folder. Documents are converted to PDF and emailed to a reviewer. Use cases would be environments where incoming documents are dropped into cloud storage and a human needs to review them. By converting to PDF, it becomes easier to read in a consistent format in the browser. ## How it works - Listen for new files added in a OneDrive folder, identified by an ID - Download the bits of the new document if the file was a Microsoft Word document (the API I'm using can convert any Office document, but wanted to start simple) - Upload to Foxit's API service, convert to PDF, and download when done - Use Gmail to mail the PDF to a human reviewer. ## How to use - You'll need to determine a OneDrive folder ID to monitor, or select an entire account instead, just be careful when testing. - When the workflow is done, it emails to myself, so please connect your own Gmail and set a preferred email address for testing. ## Requirements - A Microsoft OneDrive account - Foxit developer account (https://developer-api.foxit.com) - A Gmail account - At least one Word document - we all have that, right? ## Next Steps This workflow could be modified to work with any Office-style document, and could also upload the PDF version back to OneDrive.
