Question

Cannot sent Email with Gmail

Hello,

I noticed today that several of my Zaps are no longer working. I haven't changed anything here for weeks - but they worked when I created them.
Unfortunately, I can't find the error either.

Data is collected via Airtable and Stacker, which should then be sent in an email via Gmail.
Unfortunately, I now have this error message 
Failed to create a send email in Gmail
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name'
Here are a few screenshots of the Zap. As I see it, all data is found - I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

Does anyone have any tips?
Thanks!

Hi @KevinDax 

It may have to do with the attachments.

Check your Zap Runs here to help you troubleshoot the DATA IN/OUT for each Zap step: https://zapier.com/app/history/

Hello
Thank you very much. The problem was, if the found field from Stacker for the attachment is empty, the email is not sent and the Zap is canceled.

I was hoping I could just send the email without an attachment if no attachment is found.

You can use separate Zaps with Filters or Paths in 1 Zap to handle that logic.

Hello
can you give me a tip on how to realize this exactly?

I have added the step "Only continue if ".

But if I now say that the attachment field is empty, then stop the zap it would not be correct. I would like the Zap to be executed without the attachment in the Gmail mail.

Thank you!

You would have separate Zaps (or 1 Zap with Paths) to handle the different use cases.

Zap 1: Filter checks if there is an attachment

Zap 2: Filter checks if there is not an attachment
