i sent a couple PDFs using a webhook but i cant include them as attachments in a SMTP action
The webhhook is generated from google sheets.
and i can assure the pdf is created ok since i can test it sending it directly to my gmail. i need the smtp from zapier since i need to add extra functionality
Any help is appreciated
Looks like this method won’t work with the way Google Drive send its URLs. It works with any link with a file extension. Say .jpg or .png as the example in the article. Haven't tried with a .pdf, and I don't see a way that Google Drive can give a link in that structure.
I see a workaround to what I am looking for by using the email parser. Sending my files to that address, and then I am able to further use the attachment as file to do what I want next.
Thanks
i am jumping back to this.. but still cant get it done..
I am not getting the same output in the Hydration process:
I am using a GET method and sending the public google drive URL
And what I get as output is a long string of text, very different as the example in the article.

Try mapping the returned value, which is a file object, to the Attachment step.
mmm seems like the right thing to do but for reason all i get back is a lot of text instead of the PDF.
i am passing the url of the public file right as it comes .

Ok, so in this case it does need to be a file object.
Check this article:
All I receive is htm file with the link inside it. Instead of the actual file
what I attach:

The Attachment field should accept file objects or file url (as long as it’s the public direct download link).
thanks
i can indeed pass the file link. but i can only send that in the body of an email not as a file in the attachment as intended. might be closer now.. do you know if there is a way to send the file while having the url (with public access)

Hi
Good question.
Try sending thru the file links on the webhook to use in the Zap.
