I have been looking for a way to automatically send an email with two pdf documents attached once they are uploaded to google drive. But I would like those document to be sent as PDF and not drive link.
I really struggle to understand how the attachment works with zappier. Anytime I try it only attach either nothing or empty .txt file…
Thanks a lot for your help

@Eleonore - have you tried any of these two solutions?
Hello @MarijnVerdult Thanks for your quick reply
I have read the subject but I think either its not appropriate to my problem or there some things that I don’t get.. and probably both.
P.S. It seems you’re creating a draft in gmail, is that correct or would you like to send an email?
Hi @MarijnVerdult
Thank you for your response. I just tried the zap with you proposition and it kind of worked… because I d have a pdf attached to my mail now, but it is not the good document. It is one that has been suppressed from my drive like 3 days ago. Wich is weird because how Zappier could have access to it ? It seems there is a lot of latency between the apps..
Maybe I ll have to wait.
And could you help me on the rest of my use case ? I need to attach two different files in my mail. Something like if the drive folder have two pdf documents, send the two pdf document by mail.
PS : I put in draft for now since I am still testing
Hi @Eleonore, that sounds weird, is this in a test or “live”? Can you please send a screenshot of how you’ve set up the trigger and action?
As far as I know, the Zap would trigger every time a new document is added to your Drive - so for every single doc. To add a second file you want to add a search-step looking for the second file that you want to add and then do the same thing for the attachment.
It was in test mode.
Here is the path I made
And I just tested again without the second line of attahchment. there is an error :
Hi @Eleonore
Since it’s in this mode, the data you get from your trigger are probably still based on the “old trigger”. To find a more recent document, you can load sample data again within Step 1.
It also seems you forgot to send a screenshot of the error
