I have a zap that looks at new or modified list items on a Microsoft Sharepoint list and then creates a task in Asana. There is the ability to upload an attachment to the SharePoint list item, so I am curious if that attachment URL could be used in a later step. I cant seem to locate anything for this. Ideally I could upload the file directly, but I would settle for copying the link to the description,

Hi
The SharePoint Zap trigger event would need to include info about the file for you to use.
- file object
- file url
- file ID
- file name
Try using this Zap action: SharePoint - Find File
Description: Finds a file and its contents based on its name and Folder Path
Otherwise, you may have to explore using the SharePoint API.

The triggering actions that kick off my Zap are when a new Sharepoint list item is created or modified. I can check to see if there is an attachment (Boolean yes/no), but I cant seem to find the URL in Zapier.
In Power Automate I am able to create something similar and then add the URL to the list item, which helps by allowing the person to see ‘Oh, there is an attachment, and here is a link to the item in Sharepoint” so its one click. not as ideal as a link to the attachment directly, but at least closer.
When I look for the same in Zapier, I cant seem to find it.

Hi
Zapier's SharePoint integration can trigger new or updated list items and detect if attachments exist but doesn't provide direct attachment URLs in the data. To get around this, you can use a custom Webhook step to call the SharePoint API and fetch attachment URLs, create a SharePoint flow to add attachment links to a list field for Zapier to read, or explore third-party tools that expose these URLs.
