# PDF Merger finish

## Finish

When you select **Finish** on the **Application Token** step, the wizard installs PDF Merger and shows the **Finish** step: a confirmation page that lists the fields it added.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> PDF Merger doesn't run until you create an email notification on the destination table. The wizard doesn't create it for you. See [PDF Merger email notification setup](https://help.quickbase.com/quickbase-extensions/docs/en/pdf-merger-email-notification-setup).

## The confirmation page

The **Finish** step shows, from top to bottom:

1. In bold: *Congratulations, you have successfully installed PDF Merger in your Quickbase Application!* followed by a link to the PDF Merger documentation.
2. *Click here to view the steps to create an Email Notification to trigger PDF Merger to run:* followed by an **Email Notification Steps** link. Those steps are now in [PDF Merger email notification setup](https://help.quickbase.com/quickbase-extensions/docs/en/pdf-merger-email-notification-setup).
3. *The following changes were made to your application:* followed by **Selected Table** (a link to your destination table) and **Added fields to this table**. The changes are listed below.

## What the wizard created

The wizard creates no tables. It adds these fields to the destination table you chose in **Select the Destination Table**:

| **Field** | **Type** | **What it's for** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The field you named in **Name of File Attachment** | File Attachment | Only if you chose **Create a Field**. PDF Merger saves the merged file here. If you chose an existing field, the wizard uses that one instead. |
| **Merged Date** | Date / Time | PDF Merger writes the date and time of the last merge here. |
| **Merger Error Details** | Text | PDF Merger writes the details here if a merge fails. |
| **PDF Merger Trigger Field** | Text | The trigger field. **Execute PDF Merger** writes *Batch Execution Requested_* and the date and time here. Your email notification fires on that change, and PDF Merger updates the field again when it's done. |
| **PDF Merger Parameters** | Formula - Text | The parameters PDF Merger runs with: which files to merge (the files you set up in **Configuration Setup**, or the query table, query, and file fields from **Query Setup**), where to save the result, the field IDs of **Merged Date**, **Merger Error Details**, and the trigger field, and the merged file name, *Merged_File*. It also includes *type=pdfmerger* (US) or *type=pdfmergereu* (EU), which must match the address in **PDF Merger Batch Email**. Your email notification sends this field's value to the PDF Merger address. See [Formula Text field parameters](https://help.quickbase.com/quickbase-extensions/docs/en/formula-text-field-parameters). |
| **Execute PDF Merger** | Formula - URL (button) | The button that starts a merge. It updates the trigger field, and it's hidden while a request is pending. Its help text reads: *Clicking this button will kick off the merging process. Be patient, refresh the screen until the process is complete.* |
| **PDF Merger Batch Email** | Formula - Email | The address your email notification sends to: *pdfmerger@pdfmerger.quickbasetools.com*, or *pdfmergereu@pdfmerger.quickbasetools.com* for apps in the EU. It may not be listed on the confirmation page. |

The wizard also creates a batch configuration for your app, of type *pdfmerger* (US) or *pdfmergereu* (EU), and adds its **configid** to **PDF Merger Parameters**. See [Batch Config Portal overview](https://help.quickbase.com/quickbase-extensions/docs/en/batch-config-portal-overview).

The wizard doesn't create the email notification.

## Next steps

2. [Formula Text field parameters](https://help.quickbase.com/quickbase-extensions/docs/en/formula-text-field-parameters): change which files are merged, merge more than five files, or rename the merged file.
