I use Zapier Parser to bring over a PDF attachment and update a record in AirTable. The issue is it takes the email attachment and gives it a super long filename in AirTable with letters and numbers. Is there any way to have it be a set filename or custom filename instead? I tried using Format from Zapier but not having any luck.

Hi
You’d likely have to use the Airtable API to set the File Name for an uploaded attachment.
App APIs can be used in Zaps with the Webhooks app as an action step: https://zapier.com/apps/webhook/help
New attachments only require the url property.
You can optionally pass the filename property to give it a readable name.
