Question

Gmail to GDrive - PDF Filter doesn't work

Hey guys, 

 

I setup a Zap that should load all pdf attachments to a specific Gdrive folder. The zap itself works, but it also copies other files then .pdf files in the folder. What is wrong here?

 

Could you help us?

Hi @jessigfd 

For us to have true context, post screenshots with how the Zap Filter step conditions are configured in EDIT mode.

 

You may want to try removing the enclosing brackets. []

Hey @Troy Tessalone 

sorry I am new to Zapier. Thanks for the response. 

The brackets aren’t there in this view. 

We also tried it with “Text Contains” but same problem.

@jessigfd 

Try using this variable in the Filter: Attachment Details Filename

 

Other options: Attachment Details Mime Type
