4. HTML to PDF Connector

   HTML to PDF connector is a frequently used connector for designing and generating PDF reports in Flow Classic. Additionally, it's also possible to merge existing pdfs with this connector.
   As mentioned in this idea https://ideas.novacura.com/forums/956630-novacura-flow-connect/suggestions/48235034-add-proper-report-print-layout-configuration-to-fl
   The design capabilities of the existing connector are somewhat limited/rigid. Ideally, it should be far easier/flexible to design a report layout in connect. Here are some options we can consider for HTML to PDF connector in Flow Connect.

   Option 1

   Can be divided in to two sub sections.
   a. Report design as its own step in the designer – The idea of this is to have a new “report designer step” that is a low-code/WYSIWYG editor. With this approach, the flow developers do not design the report with HTML rather use the editor to design. So even someone who does not know HTML can design a report.

   Advantage – Flexible, feature rich design capabilities with no HTML knowledge needed.

   Disadvantage – Migrating existing customer flows with HTML to PDF connector in Flow Classic to this new format might be challenging.

   b. Generate PDF report as a client feature – Once we have figured out a way to design the report, the PDF generation can happen in the client-side. This would enable offline PDF generation since we do not need to communicate with the Flow Connect backend for PDF generation.

   Advantage – Offline PDF Generation. No connector setup is needed to design & generate reports.

   Disadvantage – If the PDF’s are too big (in size) it will affect the performance of the client. especially in mobile/handheld devices with limited memory capacity. Might have an effect on battery life as well.

   Option 1.a & 1.b are mutually exclusive. We can stop with option 1.a where a new design step that keeps the PDF generation server-side. Or we can have the existing report design machine step but have option 1.b to generate the PDF on the client side.

   Option 2

   Keep HTML to PDF connector as it is – We can also have the exact same functionality of the HTML to PDF connector in connect. So, a connector configuration is needed design & generate PDF reports as PDF generation is happening server-side. With this approach we can borrow lot of stuff from Flow classic (e.g. the design of the machine step) and reuse the existing connector infrastructure.

   Advantage – Migration from Flow Classic to Connect will be easier. Also, since its server-side pdf generation, the connector should be able to handle relatively bigger PDF files.

   Disadvantage – We will continue to have the same issues as it was in Flow Classic. (e.g. Rigid/lack of design capabilities, formatting & logos, no offline printing, etc..)

   Option 3

   Use a third-party service like ConvertAPI. Convert API also provides dedicated servers if needed.

   Advantage – Already available and easy to setup with the existing REST Connector.
   Access to other documents formats like DOCX,XLS,XLSX, TXT,JPEG.
   Relatively easy migration from Flow Classic.

   Disadvantage – Since its REST service hosted by a third-party 3rd party privacy terms apply.
   Lack of on-Prem hosting options (e.g. Convert API does not provide any onprem hosting solution)

6. Feature to log REST calls

   It would be nice if we could log somehow if an enduser run a workflow and during a REST call an error occurs, then later a developer could check these log files. Or if the issue is not reproducable in DEV environment, only in PROD/TEST env. (like a similar functionality in Flow Classic).

   A use-case from partner:
   "If the user experience problems occasionally and we can’t recreate it in the debug.
   Another example, sometimes when I get long responetimes during testing I cannot see if that is because of M3 or not. Next time I run it it is quick again."

8. Allow eq and in operator on the same entity

   we would like to use both the eq and the in operator on the same entity within a set and if the IN operator consist of only one “value” then the connector will crash and give the following error “Operation failed. Multiple key predicates cannot be specified for the same entity set.“ but if you set more than one “value” it will work as intended.
