## Overview
{% hint style="info" %}

**Prerequisites**
Before configuring this automation, ensure the following:
* You have the latest **SharinPix Package** installed. You can follow [this guide](/faqs/how-to-update-sharinpix-package-from-the-appexchange.md) to upgrade your SharinPix Managed Package to the newest version.
* Users must have the **SharinPix Forms** **Admin** or **SharinPix Forms User** permission set assigned. For more information on these two permission sets, check [SharinPix Permission Sets](/documentation/access-and-security/sharinpix-permission-sets.md).
* A form template has been created using the [SharinPix Form Template Editor](/forms/form-elements/sharinpix-form-template-editor.md) and has been set up using the [SharinPix Form Launcher](/documentation/lightning-web-component/sharinpix-form-launcher.md).

## Input Parameters
Below are the inputs required when using the `FormResponseContentDocAutomation` invocable method in a Salesforce Flow. These parameters must be provided to successfully import the PDF as a Content Document on Salesforce.
| Parameter | Description |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| formResponsePublicId | The ID of the `Form_Response__c` record from which the PDF will be imported. *(Required)* |
| recordId | The ID of the Salesforce Record the Content Document will be linked to. (*Required)* |
| filename | The Filename to be assigned to the Content Document. |
## Flow Setup
This flow is setup to be triggered when a SharinPix Form Response record is updated with a value set for PdfUrl\_\_c and does the following:
* Generates a Content Document of the response
* Imports the Content Document on Salesforce
* Links it to the Form Response's parent record
### Step 1: Configure a Record-Triggered Flow
1. Go to **Setup** > **Flows** > Click **New Flow**
2. Choose **Record-Triggered Flow** and click **Create**
3. Set the following values:
| Setting | Value |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Object | SharinPix Form Response |
| Trigger | A record is created or updated |
| Condition Requirements | All Conditions Are Met (AND) |
| Field | ProcessedAt |
| Operator | Is Null |
| Value | False |
| When to Run | Only when a record is updated to meet the condition requirements |
| Optimize Flow For | Actions and Related Records |
This configuration ensures the Flow runs only when the `ProcessedAt` field on the [SharinPix Form Response](/forms/salesforce-integration/sharinpix-form-response.md) has a value.
### Step 2: Add the Import Action
{% hint style="danger" %}
**Alert:**
Starting with the Salesforce **Winter’26 release** , Apex Actions can no longer be executed directly in the **Run Immediately** path of a record-triggered flow. Instead, they must be placed in an **asynchronous path** , as the synchronous execution option is no longer supported.
For more details, please refer to the documentation here:\
[*Unable to save a flow with an Apex Action after the Salesforce Winter ’26 release – What should I do?*](/faqs/i-am-unable-to-save-a-flow-with-an-apex-action-after-the-salesforce-winter-26-release-what-should-i.md)
{% endhint %}
1. Add an **Action** element
2. Search for `Sharinpix__FormResponseContentDocAutomation`
3. Set the input values:
| Field | Value |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Salesforce record ID to which the Content Document will be linked | `{!$Record.sharinpix__ParentRecordId__c}` |
| SharinPix Form Response Public ID | `{!$Record.sharinpix__PublicId__c}` |
| Filename of the Content Document | `{!$Record.Name}` |
This step ensures the inspection report PDF is imported directly into the Salesforce Record where the form was launched.
### Step 3: Save and Activate
* Save the Flow
* Click **Activate** to begin automating PDF imports as Content Documents.
### Step 4: Fill and Submit the Form
Once the form has been submitted with the value set for PdfUrl\_\_c, the Content Document is generated and linked to the salesforce record were the form was launched's Notes & Attachments section.
