Can I pass the URL from a Zap triggered by Google Drive to be written into MySQL in a second Zap?

I have a zap that gets triggered by a file added to a Google Drive folder.  The URL to the new file is passed to DocParser.

A 2nd Zap is triggered when new data is available from DoacParser.  The data parsed from the file in the first zap is written to a MySQL database.  

The piece I am missing from the solution is how to write the URL from the first zap to be included in the row written into MySQL with the parsed data.  

How do I pass the URL from the first zap to be written into MySQL in the 2nd Zap?

Hi @rickbweir 

Good question.

Are you using the “Your Document ID” field with DocParser?

Thank you Troy.  It looks like I can just put the URL into the Document ID and pick it up on the other Zap to write into MySQL.
