Cloudlayer
· #459 most-usedGenerate PDFs and images from templates
Cloudlayer is an API-first document and image generation platform for creating PDFs and images from HTML, URLs, and reusable templates. Connect Cloudlayer to Actionist so agents can render proposal packets, invoices, certificates, screenshots, campaign images, and review artifacts from approved data while tracking jobs, assets, account usage, and storage settings.
Eliminates manual work. Agents remove repetitive data-to-template rendering, web capture, job checking, asset lookup, and storage preflight work around Cloudlayer document and image generation.
What your Cloudlayer agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Cloudlayer × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Proposal PDF ready when a deal advances
When a deal reaches proposal stage, the agent reads approved CRM fields, generates a Cloudlayer PDF from the proposal template, checks the generated asset, and posts the file for rep approval in Slack. The rep still controls the send, but the packet is already assembled.
