Picture from Google Drive not showing in monday.com to LinkedIn Zap.

Hello, i have set up a Zap that creates a post in LinkedIn when a date arrives and a status changes in Monday.    The zap runs smoothly showing title, description, link URL works, except the picture, it does not appear.  I have a column for Thumbnail URL which points to a Goodle Drive fully shared (anyone with the link) folder.    Zap does not return an error, it simply does not show the picture. 

I have been copying link for that column directly from file in folder, google will give me a link like this.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/19jNqUNRCxBe3ro6xQl7NGD3VtK0LHvjq/view?usp=drive_link

Im attaching pictures of how zap is configured,   could it be a matter of the platform where picrure is posted?  should i create a special page gallery  in my website to link instead of using drive for thumbnail storage ?

Hi @HernanS 

The file link needs to be a direct download link for the publicly available file.

 

Use this utility to see the correct GDrive link format to use: https://sites.google.com/site/gdocs2direct/

This is the correct format for your example file link: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=19jNqUNRCxBe3ro6xQl7NGD3VtK0LHvjq
