Generate PDF: Disable Public PDF Link
Introducing Generate PDF: Disable Public PDF Link – a new update that puts you in control of how your generated PDFs are shared. With this configurable option, you can prevent sensitive PDF links from being exposed while keeping your document generation intact.
Key Highlights
- Disable Public Link: A new toggle on the Generate PDF action lets you stop the generation of a public, clickable PDF link.
- Secured Run History: When enabled, the PDF title in Run History is displayed as plain text, removing the clickable link.
- Downstream Action Safety: Downstream outputs will no longer show the Document link, mitigating the risk of exposing sensitive data inadvertently.
- Consistent Output: Even with link exposure disabled, the PDF is still generated successfully and remains available as a file output.
- Validation for Existing Configurations: If existing downstream actions reference the PDF link, enabling this setting will mark those references as invalid until they are updated.
How It Works
- Simply toggle the new “Disable public PDF link” setting in any Generate PDF automation action. When turned on, the automation will no longer display clickable links in Run History or allow the Document link to be selected in downstream actions.
- The generated PDF remains fully available as Exported PDF, and the Document title is still provided as text output.
- For automations that already reference the Document link, the system will flag these as invalid configurations until you update or remove the outdated references.
- Existing automations will continue to work without interruption, as they default with the new setting turned off. New automations also start with this option off, ensuring a smooth transition.
By adding this feature, we’re giving you greater control and security over your PDF outputs, ensuring sensitive documents remain protected while still delivering the functionality you rely on. Enjoy a more secure and tailored PDF generation experience with this latest SmartSuite update!
