"Access denied" error while using lexoffice


AsaZaps

Hello community,

I have just set up an invoice Mail with the sole purpose for our suppliers to send their invoices there.

I am trying to set up a zap, that automatically uploads the attached files in the microsoft outlook account.
So far, so good.

When I test the zap, I receive the error message “Access denied”. I tested the connection to Outlook and lexoffice, both seem fine. I have no idea, where the error could be.

Thank you for your time and help!

Hey folks,

Just following up here to share that the lexoffice team have released a new version of their app on Zapier which should now have resolved this issue! 😁🎉

To take advantage of the fix they implemented you’ll want to ensure your Zaps are running the latest version of the lexoffice app. See our Update to the latest app version in Zaps guide for details.

That said, if you’re still experiencing issues please do reach out in the Community or get in touch with Support. In the meantime, happy Zapping! ⚡

Hi there @AsaZaps,

Welcome to the Community! 🎉

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your Zap. Before we dig deeper, could you please provide us with a detailed screenshot of how your Zap is configured, specifically the "Action" section of lexoffice? This will help us better understand the issue.

Thanks! 😊

Hi there @AsaZaps,

Thanks for the screenshot!

The fields looks like it has been mapped correctly. To test, could you please try creating a new sample data in Microsoft Outlook and ensure that there’s an attachment on that email? After that, select the recently created sample data from the trigger step by clicking “Load more.” Like so:

After that, please try testing the lexoffice action step again.

Please give that a try, and keep us posted! 😊

Hey Ken, I have tried that step with two different sample E-Mails, but the error still occurs. Do you have another idea? :/

Hi @AsaZaps,

Thank you for trying that out. Can you please let me know if the attachment in your Microsoft Outlook email is a PDF file? If it is, we have an open bug report for a similar issue that you are encountering.

Thanks!

Hey Ken,

Yes, it is a PDF-File :) So it isn’t fixable right now?

Hey there, I’m having the same issue. Tried setting up a Zap for Bookkeeping purpose. 

I’d like to be able to forward a Mail with an invoice to a Mail Adress and have the document uploaded to Lexoffice  automatically. That would be awesome. Hope there’s news on that.

I’m getting this error message even though it’s just a PDF file.

Error from halted execution: Unable to upload file: The file type is not supported.
