Generate concert ticket PDFs with QR codes using PDF Generator API

Generate personalized concert ticket PDFs with QR codes using PDF Generator API, then email them to attendees, log sales to Google Sheets, and notify organizers via Slack — all triggered from a simple web form.

Who is this for

Event organizers, ticketing teams, and developers who need an automated pipeline to issue branded PDF concert tickets with unique QR codes for venue entry — without building a custom backend.

How it works

1. An attendee fills out a web form with their name, email, event details, seat number, and ticket tier (General / VIP / Backstage). 2. The workflow generates a unique ticket ID and prepares all data for the PDF template. 3. PDF Generator API renders a personalized PDF ticket. The QR code is a native template component that encodes the ticket ID automatically. 4. A styled HTML confirmation email with a download link is sent to the attendee via Gmail. 5. The ticket details are logged to a Google Sheets spreadsheet for tracking and attendance management. 6. A Slack notification alerts the event organizer with a summary of the newly issued ticket.

Set up

1. PDF Generator API — Sign up at [pdfgeneratorapi.com](https://pdfgeneratorapi.com), create a ticket template with a QR Code component bound to {{ ticketid }}, and note your template ID. 2. Template ID — Open the "Prepare Ticket Data" Code node and replace the TEMPLATEID value with your own. 3. Credentials — Connect your accounts in each node: PDF Generator API, Gmail, Google Sheets, and Slack. 4. Google Sheets — Create a spreadsheet with columns: Ticket ID, Attendee, Email, Event, Venue, Date, Seat, Tier, PDF URL, Issued At. Set the spreadsheet ID in the "Log Ticket Sale" node. 5. Slack — Choose a channel (e.g. tickets) in the "Notify Event Organizer" node.
