Users in my app can see a list of previous orders and they are able to view the details of the order in a pop up that looks like a purchase order. I would like for the users to be able to print/email/download the purchase order.
It seems like my approach isn’t working. Could have a purchase order file generate when the order is created? Has anyone done this before?
Are you saying you’d like to be able to do all of those or any one of them? Would it work to provide an option to email a copy to themselves? Once they have a copy, they can print, archive, or do whatever with it.
@sudsy Yea I would like for them to be able to reference and preview the file in the app and then also have the option to print or email or download as pdf. I know I can get a PDF converter then save it to something like amazon S3, but it seems like there is a better way. Or maybe there isnt.
@cmarchan Thanks for your detailed answer, I appreciate it so much! I will play around with this idea. I feel like PDF converters are so expensive for the simplicity of the task.
Perhaps I misunderstood, but I thought you said you already implemented that functionality…

Oh, ok. You didn’t mention PDF in your initial post. You could also capture an image of the order that you’re already displaying in the popup, but that would require a plugin as well. It would be a raster image, though, so PDF might be a better option.
Ah ok, it’s the “file” part that I glossed over. Assuming the file is not permanently stored on the system (not sure why you’d want to do that), then @cmarchan’s approach seems like a good direction to go.
Quick question about the email that is received and how to change or if it is possible to change.
My email I sent comes in with three basic properties displayed, When, Where and Who
The when is understandable, the where is as well.
I am however, unsure of the who part. I don’t seem to have control over what is displayed there. I thought it might be coming from the ‘organizer’ property but after changing it from an email address to a name, there is no difference in what shows up in my email.
I’ve tested with yahoo mail and gmail
In my yahoo emails I am always seeing ‘Who’ as my yahoo email address regardless of what I have put into the ‘organizer’ property.
When I send to my gmail account I always get Unknown Organizer* in the who section
Do we actually have any control over this? If so, is there some appropriate syntax to use?
I made several variations of the Organizer in the workflow below, the first was an email address, the second was a name, and the final was this one pictured which was an example from the website I used to reference what the properties were.
No matter which variation I used the results were the same
Here are the results that I received in my email accounts…the results were always the same regardless of which variation of the Organizer input was for the workflow
So let me do some testing to be sure, if both of us can’t get it working then maybe it would be worth filing a bug report or asking Bubble Support. Let me see if I can test it out for you in a few hours. I will let you know.
