Gmail attachment parsing issue with Airtable records

I have a very simple workflow.

I would like to create a record in air tables.

The record should contain the parsed information from a pdf email attachment. AND the original scanned document

 

The problem: zapier isn’t allowing two different “things” thing 1 parsered info. thing 2 scanned doc to add to the same new record. or even take one and update it.

 

The problem is caused by a ID issue I think. I would think this is a simple common issue but can’t find any info online.

 

Help would be super appreciated. Thank you.

Hi ​@Tye,

 

Welcome to the Community.

 

To create an Airtable record with parsed information from a PDF email attachment and the original scanned document, set up a Zap with these steps: trigger with "New email" (for example, Gmail), parse the PDF using Zapier email Parser, upload the scanned document to a file hosting service (for example, Google Drive), and create a record in Airtable using the parsed data and the file URL. Airtable can store file URLs but not files directly. Share your Zap setup and obscure any sensitive information for security purposes.

 

Thank you.
