Hi,

 

I need to see my updated google data report everyday on my slack channel, for which I used Zapier to forward the report email to my specific channel, but unfortunately its sending the updated report in Zip folder format for which I need to download each and then I can see the report. 

 

I want something which can forward the report directly in .jpg not in a zip folder so I can see it directly without downloading it.

Email SS:

(Zapier is detecting 2 attachments)

 

Slack receiving msg:

Hi @Zaid 

You can use “ConvertAPI” to extract the contents of a zip file in your zap:

 

 

You’ll get back a list of URLs for each attachement, so you need to use a “Formatter->Utility→Pick From List” step to extract the correct file URL (you’ll have to do some trial and error to work out where in the list the file you want is - it will be same every extract)

 

 

Let us know how you get on - if you want some more direct help with this, feel free to contact me.

Yes But I have unziped file in the email already. I have two attachments in the Email. One zip and one direct jpg.
