# Create from Flow Action

For use within Flow Designer, a Flow Action called **Generate PDF from HTML and Attach to Record** is included with the app. This can be used within any flow to automate the generation of a PDF to be attached to a record. It requires inputs of:

* **File name**: File name of the resulting attachment
* **HTML Merge Template**: The **HTML to PDF Merge Template** to be used
* **Source record**: Source record from which to derive any dynamic data in the PDF
* **Attach to record**: Target record where the PDF file should be attached
