Example: Certificate on Course Completion

A typical Zap that generates a certificate when a student completes a course:
  1. Trigger - Teachable “Course Completed”
  2. Webhooks - Generate certificate PDF with pdf noodle
  3. Gmail - Email the certificate to the student

​
Working with the Response

The webhook returns a JSON response: 
{
  "signedUrl": "https://pdforge-production.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/...",
  "metadata": {
    "executionTime": "1.805 seconds",
    "fileSize": "4.066 kB"
  }
}
To use the PDF URL in subsequent steps:
  1. Add another action after the webhook
  2. Use the response field signedUrl from the webhook step
