We have a zap that sends a reminder out to the invitees of a Google calendar event one hour prior to the event start time. We have a PDF attachment on the Google Invite and would like that to be sent as an attachment on the gmail reminder. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Question
How do I attach a Google Calendar event one hour before the event in PDF to a Gmail reminder?

Hi
Good question.
The GCal Event will return a link for the attached file, but the link will need to be converted to be a direct download link.
This can be done with Formatter steps or 1 Code step.

Hi
Yes this is possible to build. I can share a rough solution -
Trigger - New Event Start in Google Calendar
Action 1 - Search for file in Google Drive with file name from Trigger
Action 2 - Send an email via Gmail with attachment url from Action 1
Note - If there are multiple attachments in Google Calendar, you will have to use Looping by Zapier along with an app to record the file URL’s
