HTTP Request : Fetching PDF data from the service API

Watch out for

PDFMonkey webhooks may retry on failure so you should add a unique ID check in your database to prevent duplicate processing.
Large PDF files can cause memory issues in n8n so configure the HTTP node to stream binary data instead of loading it into memory.
Webhook signatures might be ignored by default so enable signature verification in n8n to ensure requests actually come from PDFMonkey.
Email providers often block automated sends if SPF records are missing so verify your domain authentication before routing emails through the workflow.
