Export PDF Invoices from SmartBill to Google Drive
Automates retrieval of invoice PDFs from SmartBill API, generates padded invoice numbers, and uploads them to a date-based folder in Google Drive.
This workflow streamlines invoice management by manually triggering the export of PDF invoices from SmartBill to Google Drive. It begins with user-defined parameters for invoice range (start/end numbers), series, and target Google Drive parent folder ID. A dynamic folder is created named after the previous month (e.g., '2025-01'), ensuring organized storage for tax preparation or archiving.
Next, a code node generates a list of invoice items by iterating through the specified range, padding numbers to a custom length (e.g., '0013') and attaching series and folder details. For each invoice, an HTTP Request node fetches the PDF from the SmartBill API using Basic Auth credentials. The PDFs are then uploaded to Google Drive with structured filenames like 'series-0013.pdf'.
Benefits include significant time savings for accountants handling bulk exports—avoiding manual downloads and uploads for dozens of invoices. Ideal for monthly tax prep, audit trails, or integrating invoicing with cloud storage. Requires SmartBill API and Google Drive credentials; adjust parameters in the SetData node for flexibility.
