Hi Zapier Community,

I’m trying to create a Zap that automatically saves PDF attachments from specific emails in my Gmail inbox to the appropriate folder in Google Drive. However, instead of saving the PDFs as they are, Zapier is creating Google Docs with unintelligible text that doesn’t help me at all.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

  1. Set up Gmail as the trigger to look for specific emails containing PDFs.
  2. Used Google Drive as the action to save the files in the correct folder.

I’ve double-checked the setup but can’t figure out why the PDFs aren’t saving as actual PDFs. Am I missing a step, or is there a workaround to ensure only the original PDF file is saved to Google Drive?

Any advice or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
