Required Information

To generate an order PDF magic link, you need:

• Order ID: The unique identifier of the draft order for which you want to create a PDF

Generation Process

When you request a magic link using the /orders/magiclink/order/{orderId} endpoint, the system:

1. Validates that the order exists and is accessible

2. Creates a secure, time-limited token for the order

3. Generates a URL containing this token

4. Returns the complete magic link URL in the response

Magic Link Response

The response is straightforward, containing a single magicLink field with the complete URL:

{
    "magicLink": "https://app.nue.io/view-order/[secure-token]"
}
