Question

Uploading New Gmail Attachments to Google Drive - filter out existing files

Hello everyone,

 

I tried to create a zap that uploads new Gmail attachments to my google drive. Is there a way to make sure that the same attachments aren’t uploaded twice? I’ve tried to “find file in google drive” and if it is found the remaining steps shouldn’t run but the zap keeps going. Any advice?

Hi there @HOPS0522,

Welcome to the Community! 🎉

Just a little bit of context on how the “New Attachment in Gmail” trigger works. The way this trigger works is that it will trigger for any and all attachments, which includes images you might use in an email signature or were included by the sender. We do have a way on preventing this from happening. 

You can find the instructions on how to do this in this helpful article:

Hopefully, this helps! 😊
