Is there a way to pass a Dropbox link from the "New File in Folder" step to my "Run Javascript" step without hydrating the link and causing a failure?

Hi ​@dolfinx 

Your screenshots of Zap step 2 config shows an invalid variable mapped for the “url” parameter, so try remapping that variable.

Thats my fault, that screen shot was from a previous error I was having. When I replace that with the DropBox “Share Link” variable is what creates the error.
Here is the updated image:

The Share Link is not a direct download link of the Dropbox File.

I have tried that approach and I cant even leverage the link. My issue is with the hydration step not the formatting unfortunately.

Dropbox File may be too large in the Zap trigger step.

File field is missing from the returned data for the New File in Folder trigger

Although other data for the new file is retrieved when triggered, the file itself isn't pulled to our platform when its size is above 100 MB.
This will cause other steps depending on the file field to fail.

To get around this, you can set the "Include file contents?" field to NO to exclude the file contents and use the "Direct Media URL" field provided by Dropbox instead of the "File" field:

Yea, that's what's frustrating is all that I need from Zap is to pass off the URL. Just need to think it through. Thank you for your help!
