Hello, 

 

I’d like to set up a zap in order to upload attachments from gmail to google drive. 

Does it have to be from a unique sender or can I use multiples sender when I set up the trigger ? 

I have 2 to 4 emails I’d like to target and send all attachments from them to a specific folder in Google Drive.

 

All help appreciated, 

Many thanks in advance, 

 

B.

Hiya @Ben-MATCHPOINT,

Thanks for reaching out! I took a quick peek and it looks like you were able to chat with our friends in support who recommended Filter by Zapier.

In this case I think the best option would be to add a filter step to that Zap instead of using the 'search string' option.
 
With a filter you can set what a field must be set as for the Zap to continue.
 
We could set it up so it would only continue if it was one of the senders you want it to be.
 
Here is a little bit more information on filter steps: https://zapier.com/help/create/customize/add-conditions-to-zaps-with-filters

Specifically this portion may help:

With the filter step here you can set 'or' rules:

This way you can set multiple from address and if any of them are true the Zap will pass.

Let us know how you’re able to get along with this!

Hi @Ben-MATCHPOINT 

Good question.

IF you use this Zap Trigger: Gmail - New Email Matching Search

THEN you won’t need a Filter step, because you can use OR conditions for the FROM email address.

Take note of the field description in the screenshot.
