Hi @david.oakford ,

Thanks for reaching out! I see you’ve been in touch with Support who recommended the below steps. Sharing here so other folks can refer to this post should they have a similar question!

- You can use the Gmail > New Attachment step instead, so that your Zap will trigger individually on each new attachment. This should allow all attachments to come through!
- If you want to remove any extra HTML tags or other text from these attachment URLs, you can add a Formatter by Zapier > Text > Extract URL step! Try sending that file through an extract URL step to see if this works properly!
- Additionally, if you wanted to shorten the link that gets sent over you can use the URL Shortener by Zapier step.

Please let us know if you have any further questions- happy to help!
