 I am trying to create a zap-trigger so that whenever a file is uploaded or moved into a specific folder in G Drive, it should extract a portion of the content and update the notion database. I am trying to add formatter to extract pattern and filter with conditions. 

“I don't see any options to select the file’s content as an input in the Formatter step.”

 

Am I missing something? any help, tips will be helpful. Please suggest other ways to do this. 

 

 

Hi ​@figuring out 

You need to use a link returned from the GDrive step to be able to get the contents of the GDrive File to then use in a Formatter step.

 

Help links for different GDrive File link formats.

 

How to get file contents.

 

Try using this Zap action: Files by Zapier - Text from File
