Hello,

 

I’m new to Zapier and the first attempt fails :(

 

I have selected Drive → The folder where I upload the invoices → Lexoffice

But I have no idea what Zapier want me fill in the screenshot below, makes no sense for me.

Whatever I choose I get an error afterwards..

 

But what exactly do they mean with customize file? I dont get it.. I just want Zapier to upload the files i dont need any customization.. Thank you in advance :)

You have to map the fields from GDrive to lexoffice.

For the Filename with Extension field in the lexoffice action step seem in your screenshot, pipe thru the Title of the file from GDrive.

This has the file name and the file extension.

Need to see a screenshot of the Customize File section for the lexoffice step in order to further troubleshoot.

You need to pull in or select another example from the Trigger step when configuring the Zap.

Common Problems with lexoffice on Zapier

Last updated: January 27, 2020

I can't upload files to LexOffice

If you see the error "Unable to upload file: Check the input", it may be because the file type is not supported (only PDF, PNG and JPG are supported), or because it is missing the extension (.pdf, .png, or .jpg) or because the file exceeds 2MB in size.

The files are pdf and arround 60-350 kb..

 

And this “Billbee Rechnung” is not even in Google Drive anymore as you can see in the screenshot..

Oh maybe its not PDF.. “Adobe Acrobat”

 

Is this maybe the reason?

On the trigger step, pull in new samples to use when configuring and testing your Zap by clicking the Load More button.
