What my process looks like..

When an item is created in monday → create folder & document in google drive → upload pictures into that folder from monday. The issue i’m running into is the folllowing…

They are transferring to my google drive, as txt documents. Not as png’s or actual document forms.

All other parts of the zap are working properly besides this final step. It’s returning a success but not returning the results expected.

Hi @Ali3332 

Good question.

You have the File Names mapped to the File field, which expects a file object or file url.

hey @Troy Tessalone I put in the link. And now i’m getting an error. I’ve tried to put all the drop downs under the “file” tab that are available. But none of them are being successful.

@Ali3332 

Try retesting Zap step 4 to get fresh data.

Also, if there can be 1+ files in the mapped field, then you will need to use the Looping app to iterate thru each:  https://zapier.com/apps/looping/help

 @Troy Tessalone I did some research on the loops. And still have two final questions. Do I have this loop setup correct? And thank you! that fixed the problem. Now just need to do the looping feature correctly. 

 

Is this setup properly?

@Ali3332 

You should only need 1 “Values to Loop” Input called Photos (on the left side)

Use the same mapped variable.

If there are multiple files, then that variable should have an array of line items.
