Provide the template’s Name, ID, or a Salesforce field containing the template's Name or ID in the format: `{Inspection_Template__c}`. The PDF will be generated from the **latest Form Response** of the specified template submitted on the current record. The template must have been created in the [SharinPix Form Template Editor](/forms/form-elements/sharinpix-form-template-editor.md). | Must match an existing template in your system. | | Select Action | This dropdown lets you choose what to do with the generated PDF. You can either open it in a new browser tab, or import it directly into a SharinPix album linked to the same record.. | Default value: *Open Pdf in a New Tab* | | **Record ID** \* | (**Required in Flow Screens and Community Pages**) The Salesforce record ID of the record page. | Auto-populated in some contexts; required otherwise. | ## Demo: Fire Safety Inspection Example This example demonstrates importing the **fire safety inspection PDF** into the related site’s SharinPix album when a form is submitted. The image below shows the **SharinPix Generate Form Response PDF** component configured in the Salesforce App Builder, with properties filled: * **SharinPix Form Template Name** set to *Fire Safety Inspection* * **Select Action** set to *Import to SharinPix album* ![](/files/EQrxKIkPXqbitVijIf0P) Assuming at least one form response exists for the *Fire Safety Inspection* form template, clicking the **SharinPix Generate Form Response PDF** button will generate a PDF of the latest form response and automatically import it into the SharinPix album linked to the same record. You may need to **refresh the page** to see the PDF appear in the album. The image below displays the generated PDF stored within the SharinPix album: ![](/files/Wbc1qGsPScfmi2kGz6vS) ![](/files/7EP6Kf8465evvei9PwGr) {% hint style="danger" %} **Alert** The import to the SharinPix album will **only** occur once the **PDF URL** for the form response is **available**. For example, if the SharinPix Form response includes images that are still uploading, the PDF may not be immediately generated. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
