I have a zap set up that works great forwarding files from my email account (not gmail) to dropbox, but it includes all files (pdf, csv and jpgs) in a zip folder.
Is there a way to forward only pdfs?  
I don’t have the File name option, only this one:  Attachment: (Exists but not shown)

Hi @carleen 

Can you show screenshots with what data points are returned related to the file?

 

Otherwise, you may have to configure a Zap with this type of logic:

Upload files to Dropbox Folder

The response will include the file type (e.g. PDF)

Then Filter

Move non-PDFs to another folder that you manually clear out periodically.
