Hi there, I’ve had some issues trying to get my most recent zap to work correctly, and have hit a blocker when it comes to emails generated by Gemini/Google Meet.

I’m attempting to use Google Meet and it’s Gemini tool to record our meetings audio, and then take the document it produces to be uploaded to a particular folder.  I’m pretty much there with the majority of the zap, but the attachments is something I haven’t been able to solve, even when checking other related issues in the forums.
 

  • I’ve tried using the ‘New Attachment’ trigger, for any emails that match my label/email address, but it never triggers due to the emails showing 0 attachments, despite clearly having one.
  • I landed on using ‘New Email’ trigger that checks a predefined label.  So I successfully see the correct email, and of course can see the attachments are 0 in the JSON response.  The only reason I can think of is the way it’s formatted by Google means it doesn’t behave like a typical attachment, since it’s a link to a drive file and not an actual valid file type

My secondary problem to this would be; if this isn’t actually a file and a link instead, how can I extract this information? If I were using JavaScript I would just use a library like jsdom to make a mock-HTML file to work with, but Zapier (as far as I know) can’t do that.

If there’s any way around this, I’d appreciate some guidance.  Thanks!

Hi ​@Alexander B 👋 Welcome to the Zapier Community!

 

I see the issue you’re running into. It seems those Gemini/Google Meet recap emails don’t include the file itself as an “attachment” in the traditional sense. Instead, the transcript or recording seems to be shared as a link inside the email body. That’ll be why the Gmail triggers don’t catch anything — technically, there’s no file payload within the “Attachments” field.

 

That said, as long as there’s a link within the email body, you should be able to extract it. Here are a few options to explore:

Once you’ve got the transcript link, you can map it into a Google Drive to move it into your desired folder.

 

I hope this helps!
