When a PDF invoice is created in Plug&Pay I want to create a shared folder in Google Drive specific to this client, then auto-upload the PDF invoice to that specific folder and send an e-mail with the PDF invoice attached to my accountant

Hi Troy,

Thank you for reaching out.
Here you can find a screenshot from my  zap in edit mode.
I contacted the support from Plug&Pay but they say it is not possible to send the pdf invoice to a second e-mail address, but it is possible to export the pdf via the order platform and upload them manually. I wonder if you have any idea how to get around this, so it is automated. Every step is working, except that I cannot find the file to upload  step 3.Upload File in Google Drive.

PS. My accountant has a platform where I need to upload my  files  manually or send the system an e-mail.

Thank you,
Lore

The Plug&Pay Zap trigger step would need to provide a file object or a file url to use in Step 3 to upload to GDrive.

 

Or have another Zap action step where you can search for an invoice to get the invoice PDF file.

Thanks Troy, I managed to forward the pdf attachement in the e-mail I received to my accountant :-)
