Hello,

I am new to using Zapier.  I was curious if anyone is familiar with taking a document from a monday board/task and it being sent to a dropbox folder with a zap.

 

Thanks!

David

Hi folks,

Just stopping by here to share that the feature request Christina mentioned has been closed as there’s another step named Get File Column Values which would allow you to get the file from the item:

We hope you’re able to give that action a try soon. And if you run into any issues with it please let us know in the Community here or reach out to our Support team directly and we’ll be happy to assist.

In the meantime, happy Zapping! 😁

Hi @dschmidt 

Check out this help article about using files in Zaps: https://zapier.com/help/create/basics/send-files-in-zaps

 

Not sure if any of these Zap triggers will return the File Object/URL from Monday:

 

May have to leverage the Monday API: https://api.developer.monday.com/docs/files-queries

App APIs can be used in Zaps with the Webhooks app as an action step: https://zapier.com/apps/webhook/help

Hi @dschmidt! The triggers in Zapier do not return the files you upload (just tested). So you will have to look into the Monday API

Hi friends! I wanted to pop in and consolidate some of the answers in this thread into one.

MOD EDIT:

OOP. After double checking turns out allowing files to be accessible on New Item on Board or Column Value Changed triggers is an active feature request. 🙃

I went ahead and added your vote to that,  @dschmidt! While I don’t have an ETA for when or if this will get implemented we’ll email ya if that takes place and keep this thread updated.
