Frequently asked questions

How does the TemplateFox and Bubble integration work?

TemplateFox connects to Bubble via the API Connector plugin. You configure an HTTP POST request to our API, passing your template ID and data from your Bubble database. When triggered (button click, form submit, etc.), Bubble calls TemplateFox and receives a PDF URL you can display or download.

Do I need any coding experience to set up this integration?

No coding required. Bubble's API Connector provides a visual interface to configure API calls. You'll set up the endpoint URL, add your API key as a header, and map your Bubble data fields to the request body — all without writing code.

How do I connect TemplateFox to my Bubble app?

First, get your API key from your Dashboard. In Bubble, go to Plugins → API Connector, create a new API, and add a shared header: X-API-Key: your-key. Then create a POST call to https://api.pdftemplateapi.com/v1/pdf with your template_id and data.

Can I generate PDFs from my Bubble database data?

Yes! That's the main use case. You can pass any data from your Bubble database — user info, order details, form submissions — directly to TemplateFox. Use dynamic values in your API call to populate the template variables.

Can I generate images as well as PDFs?

Yes! TemplateFox supports both PDF and PNG output formats. Simply set the output format parameter in your API call. This is perfect for generating social media graphics, product labels, or document thumbnails from your Bubble app.

What triggers can I use to generate PDFs in Bubble?

Any Bubble workflow trigger works: button clicks, form submissions, page loads, database changes, scheduled events, or custom events. Add the API Connector action to any workflow, and the PDF generates when that workflow runs.

What are common use cases for TemplateFox with Bubble?

Popular use cases include: Invoice Generation (create invoices when users complete purchases), Certificates (generate completion certificates for courses), Contracts (produce agreements from form data), Reports (create personalized PDF reports for users), and Receipts (send PDF receipts after transactions).

How fast is PDF generation?

Most PDFs generate in under 2 seconds. The API returns a PDF URL immediately, so your Bubble workflow can continue without delays. You can display the PDF in a popup, trigger a download, or save the URL to your database.

Are there any limits or additional costs?

TemplateFox offers 60 free PDFs per month on the free tier, with paid plans for higher volumes. Your Bubble plan costs remain separate. The API Connector plugin is free and included with all Bubble plans. Check our pricing for details.
