Gmail Zap Is changing CSV File to TXT File

I setup a Google Drive to Gmail zap -- everything works, but for some reason it’s changing the CSV file to a TXT file. I really need it to be a CSV file - does anyone know if there’s a fix for this?

Hi @Fuel Made 

Good question.

In order for us to have context, please post detailed screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured.

You likely have the wrong dynamic variable mapped.

@Fuel Made 

You have the GDrive File Title mapped to the Attachments field.

You need to map a File object or a File URL.

Use this variable “File (exists but not shown)”
