Hi All,
I created a Zap to send an email from my outlook, but I can’t seem to attach the PDF to the email. I tried dragging and dropping the PDF where it says Attachment, but that just resulted in gibberish.txt.
Any help would be appreciated!
Edit: Screenshots of step and email attachment added.

Hi Team,
I also struggled with this and the problem turned out to be how the likes of Google Drive and Onedrive create shareable links. The links that they create are built for viewing files on their platform, not for hosting public files that Zapier can use to attach to an email. I solved this following the following steps:
+14Please provide screenshots of how your Zap step is configured, thanks.
+14The Attachment field expects a value to be piped thru from a previous step.
Click the icon next to Attachment for more info about the values accepted for this field.

That made completing this a lot more work than I hoped, but I was able to get it done. Thank!
