Or U can use Google Drive" app here In the "Set up action" section, set the action to "Download File". Enter the file ID and filename(that will get from formatter module of zap) from the previous steps.

Sorry, I get it but it doesn’t works 😥

I can’t download the photo

There is my zap. 

I don’t know where I have to order the “filname” from the form. 

on Query String Parameters / Additional Request Headers / Body ?

 

To be more clear, I’m photographer and I need to make that for my photo studio services, I want the public to be able to directly download the photos with a Google form and to find the right photo with the right name entered in the Google form. I would take the photos in my studio, I print the photos with a QR code which links to the Google form and then the ZAP will look for the right photo and send it back by email or download it directly.

Hi there @Samual.B,

I’m jumping in to see if I can help!

Before we dig deeper into this, could you please confirm if the file name is returned in Google Forms? If so, you don’t need to use the API Request (Beta) action for this to be possible. You can use the “Find a File” action for this.

I'll be keeping an eye out for your response!
