Frequently asked questions

Ceven uses a webhook listener to monitor the status of asynchronous requests. When you trigger a background PDF creation, CraftMyPDF queues the task and provides a task ID. Ceven stores this ID and waits for the platform to send a POST request to our listener once the document is ready. Once the webhook fires, the agent automatically retrieves the PDF and proceeds to the next step in your workflow, such as emailing the file to a client or uploading it to a storage bucket. This prevents your workflow from timing out while waiting for complex documents to render.
Yes. Because Ceven references documents by their template ID, any visual changes you make inside the CraftMyPDF drag and drop editor are reflected immediately in the next document the agent generates. You do not need to change the JSON mapping in Ceven as long as the field names in your template remain the same. This separation of design and logic allows your marketing team to update brand colors or logos in the editor while the agent continues to push the correct data into those fields without any downtime.
If the agent sends data that does not match the expected format or contains invalid characters, CraftMyPDF will return an API error. Ceven is designed to catch these errors in real time. The agent will log the specific field that caused the failure and can be configured to alert you via Slack or email. You can then use the agent to inspect the source data in your CRM and correct the formatting error before triggering a retry of the document generation process.
Your limits are determined by your CraftMyPDF subscription tier. Some lower tiers have strict rate limits on the number of concurrent API requests. If Ceven hits a rate limit, you will see a 429 error in the workflow logs. To handle this, the agent uses an exponential backoff strategy, meaning it will wait a few seconds and try again automatically. For extremely high volume bursts, we recommend using the asynchronous generation tool which queues the documents on the CraftMyPDF side rather than attempting to generate them all synchronously.
No. The CraftMyPDF API is primarily designed for document generation and management rather than full layout creation. Templates must be designed visually using the CraftMyPDF web editor. Once you have created the layout and defined your dynamic fields, Ceven takes over to handle the data injection and delivery. You can use the Create Editor Session action to quickly jump into the editor for a specific template, but the actual placement of elements is a manual design process performed in the browser.
Ceven transmits data to CraftMyPDF over encrypted HTTPS connections. The data is sent as a JSON payload to the generation endpoint and is used to populate the PDF. We do not store the generated PDF files on our own servers permanently. Once the agent successfully delivers the document to your chosen destination, such as an S3 bucket or an email attachment, the temporary reference is cleared. You can also manage your data retention settings within the CraftMyPDF dashboard to control how long they keep copies of generated files.
Yes. As long as your CraftMyPDF template supports the necessary fonts and character sets, Ceven can push translated text into the document. You can build a workflow where the agent first sends the raw data to a translation service and then passes the translated strings into the CraftMyPDF template. This allows you to generate a single template that serves multiple regions by dynamically swapping the language of the labels and the content based on the customer locale found in your database.
CraftMyPDF handles dynamic arrays of data for tables. In Ceven, you should format your data as a list of objects where each object represents a row. The agent maps this list to the table element in your template, and CraftMyPDF automatically expands the table to fit all the provided rows. If the table spans multiple pages, the platform handles the pagination automatically. Just ensure your template has enough vertical space or allows for growth so that the content does not overlap with your footer elements.
