The QuickBooks “New Invoice” trigger has a field called “pdf” with a value of “(Exists but not shown)”. What does this mean?
In subsequent steps this field value becomes “hydrate||| [….long string of letters and numbers...] |||hydrate”
For context, I’m attempting to save QuickBooks invoices as .pdf files in Google Drive when they are created.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
File/Attachment (Exists but not shown) means that a file object is available.
Think of it as a temporary copy of the file.
These field values are meant to be put in fields that are designated for files/attachments, indicated by the file icon.
Here are some help docs:

Hi
Just to follow-up:
Any insight as to what’s happening in both cases would be appreciated.
