How could I work with a Drive file? For example, in my workflow I need to send a PDF file to my API, currently I have developed almost the entire process in ZAPP, but I am missing how I can tell you which Drive file I want to send.
I will start the flow from Drive and from there it will call my application
Thanks.
Hi
Perhaps you can post screenshot with how your Zap steps are currently configured to help us better understand your workflow.
Do you mean GDrive?
Is the file a PDF or are you trying to send the PDF format of another file type?
Hi Troy , Thanks for answering, sorry for not expressing myself well, I wanted to edit the post but I couldn't.
My intention is to use the URL of a Google Drive PDF document, to send as a parameter to my API.
My question is once my API comes into play, how do I get the url to pass it, my idea is that my ZAPP is available when working on Google Drive.
Thanks !
What is the GDrive trigger for your Zap?
Posting screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured can be very helpful to provide context.
You may need to use a GDrive Find File step to get the desired file URL. (use the returned ‘Alternate’ link)
You’ll need to use a publicly accessible PDF file on GDrive, meaning you may have to change the permissions of the file.

Thanks again Troy, my trigger will be an upload of a new document to Google Drive. What my zapp will do is connect to my API (login and return a token) and then I will request a series of data to fill in (for example, the recipient) and use that link (public) to pass the url to my API
