   Back in PDFBetter, Make is listed under Connected apps in Settings → Integrations.

Instant triggers

The Watch modules are instant: PDFBetter notifies Make the moment something happens, such as Watch completed signature requests, Watch new form responses or Watch finished workflow runs. They work on every plan with an account. You don't need the Business webhooks for them.

Files and long jobs

Modules that work on a document accept a document already in PDFBetter or a file from an earlier module. Convert PDF can also turn a Word, Excel or PowerPoint file into a PDF. Download links in the output last about 10 minutes, so download or pass the file on in the same scenario run.

Jobs like OCR or conversion may still be running when a module returns. The result then has the status running and a status check to repeat until the job is done. Status checks don't count as runs.

What it costs

Each PDFBetter module that runs counts as one agent & automation run. Failed runs aren't counted. The work itself uses the same allowances as the app (downloads, conversions, OCR pages, AI credits, signature requests).
