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?

Gmail Zap Is changing CSV File to TXT File
Best answer by Troy Tessalone
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)”

Hi
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.
