Hi!

 

I used to extract text from a Google doc using a get webhook like described here:

 

That doesn’t seem to work anymore. I only get the file not the text anymore.

 

Is anybody else facing this problem?

Hi @Sandra Hoffmann 

If you are using a file object that is a temp file.

You may need to retest the Zap step that is returned the file object before testing the webhook step again.

I upload a file to Google Drive with convert to document true.

It doesn’t work with either File or File Txt. But it works if I add “Find a Document in Google Docs” and then insert “File txt” from the Google Docs step in the Webhook.

 

I didn’t need step 6 before.
 
This is how it works. But not with the file from step 5 anymore.
