The Scenario
Your reporting team has 80 HTML invoice templates stored as strings in a Google Sheet — one per row in column A. Each one is a complete HTML document with client-specific billing data already merged in. They need to go out as PDF attachments to client emails today.
Your developer is out. You have the sheet, access to Neutrino's HTML render API, and a column B that is currently empty.
The bad version:
- Research how to call the Neutrino HTML render API, read the documentation, figure out the request format
- Write a script or find a tool that takes HTML as input and returns a PDF URL
- Test it on one row, fix the escaping issue in the HTML string, get the first PDF, realize the rendering cut off the invoice footer because of a page height parameter you didn't set
You're not the developer. You're the person who manages the reporting team. This task arrived at 9 AM and it's now 11.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Google Sheet. Through its built-in Neutrino integration, it renders each HTML string in column A to a PDF and writes the resulting file URL into column B — without you needing to understand the API parameters or handle the rendering logic.
For each HTML string in column A, use Neutrino HTML render to generate a PDF and write the resulting file URL into column B.
What You Get
- Column B: a downloadable PDF URL for every HTML invoice in column A
- No API documentation to read, no escaping issues to debug, no page height parameters to figure out
- 80 PDFs generated in one operation, with URLs ready to attach to client emails
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some HTML strings are truncated because the cell hit a character limit
For each row in column A, check whether the HTML string appears to be truncated (no closing html tag). Flag any truncated rows with TRUNCATED in column C. For all complete rows, render to PDF with Neutrino and write the file URL in column B.
You need the PDF in a specific page size (A4 instead of the default)
For each HTML string in column A, use Neutrino HTML render to generate an A4 PDF and write the file URL into column B.
Some rows have the client name in column B and you want it included in the PDF file name (as a note)
Render all HTML invoices in column A to PDF using Neutrino. Write the file URL in column C. Also write a suggested file name in column D using the client name from column B formatted as ClientName-Invoice.pdf.
Full invoice dispatch prep in one shot
Check each HTML string in column A for completeness. Flag truncated rows with TRUNCATED in column C. For all complete rows, render to A4 PDF using Neutrino and write the file URL in column B. Then produce a summary showing how many PDFs were successfully generated and how many rows were flagged as truncated.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open your HTML invoice sheet, then ask SheetXAI to render every row to PDF with Neutrino and write the download URLs into column B so your team can attach them to client emails.
