Hi ​@mrrcomp,

 

Welcome to the Community,

Thanks for reaching out to the Zapier Community! You're having trouble using a Google Drive file ID to query your SQL database. Start by verifying that the file ID from the "Find File" step is accurate. Then, review your SQL query to ensure it's properly formatted and matches your database structure. Double-check your database connection in Zapier and test the query with a known file ID to isolate the issue. Use Zapier’s testing tools and error messages to pinpoint where things may be going wrong.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further assistance.
