Hi everyone, I’ve seen similar posts, but no difinitive solution.
I have a numerous zaps that trigger with the receipt of multiple attachments [often from GMAIL] but could be from online forms.
I need to download these attachments into either dropbox, G Drive or attach to a new email as separate files AND NOT AS A ZIPPED / COMPRESSED SINGLE FILE
Is there a workable solution out there? either with Formatter or something else?
The closest I’ve come is with formatter, but even then you have to input a FILTER function for a finite number of attachments.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Hi
For Gmail, there’s a trigger that will give you the attachments individually. If you use the Gmail trigger New Attachment, the Zap will trigger for each attachment, so you can run each step of the Zap per attachment. It often requires a Filter step so that the Zap only continues when the email of the attachment meets certain conditions, but’s it’s a good option for working with Gmail attachments.
P.S. We’ve created a guide to help with this workflow:

THANKS VERY much for that. That would mean though, that we have to have say, potentially 20 filters for 20 attachments?
