How do I exclude a specific attachment type in a "New Attachment" trigger in email?

Hi, I am trying to solve the same issue as the linked post, but using the generic “Email by Zapier” instead of Gmail. I am not seeing an option for the Attachments Mime Type when creating a filter.

Am I missing something, or does the Attachments Mime Type only exist for Gmail?

Hi @ben_connor 

If the desired data point is not available from the Zap triggers/action, then you would need to try to find a workaround.

For emails, that would involve uploading the file to another service in order to get more metadata about the file.

One option is to use GDrive (Upload File) followed by a Filter step.
