Trying hard to make a 1st zap working… 5 days. And if it keeps like this… well.

 

As the title says… my zap changes every file to zip or txt before saving them to google drive.

 

Help before insanity?

Hi ​@ferreirahelder80 👋

Just wanted to check how you’re getting on? Were you able to get this sorted?

If not, are you using Microsoft Outlook’s New Email trigger and trying to upload attachments to Google Drive? If you are, and there’s multiple attachments on the email that could be why they are being uploaded as Zip files. 🤔

In which case, I’d suggest switching to the New Attachment trigger for Microsoft Outlook instead as that should trigger on each attachment individually and allow the Zap to upload it to Google Drive, without it being zipped. One thing to note on that is, if there’s only certain kinds of files you want uploaded you may want to explore using a Filter to ensure only certain file types are uploaded. If you’ve not worked with filters before you can learn more about how to set them up here: Add conditions to Zaps with filters.

Hope that helps to point you in the right direction. If you’re still stuck or found a different solution do let us know, want to make sure you’re all set! 🙂
