How can I automatically attach a personalized PDF to an unfulfilled order?

Hi,

I have two questions.

  • My website is based on customers ordering a consultation, the results would be emailed in PDF format. I need few properties from customer before they order the consultation: name, surname, date. I get them from input fields before they complete the checkout and I see these properties in order section. Now the question, is it possible to attach a script or a written program, for example, in C#, which would generate the file based on these properties, maybe there is an app which does something similar? I want the process to be as much automated as possible.
  • If there is no solution, I still need a way to attach a file to an unfulfilled order that would be available for a customer to be downloaded. I know about an app “Digital Downloads”, but it only lets me to attach a file to a specific product and the file would be the same for everyone. Is there a way or an app to send the download link of a file to a customer later after the checkout and this way complete an order?

Thank You.

Usemechanic is a scriptable automation app that can generate and email pdfs

It’s also able to edit order/draft-orders but I not sure about attaching a file to the order itself like as if a customer attached a file to an order so it’s viewable/linked in the order admin.
