I have a zap that uses slack reaction as the trigger, then uploads the ‘permalink private download’ to my gdrive folder. It successfully uploads it, but in the wrong format (HTML instead of PDF) and the contents are HTML/CSS codes. How to solve?

Hi
Look for a value like below on Zapier. This is the file link which you can use to Upload on Google Drive
Hi
Appreciate your response.
I’m still at the step where I want to upload the file directly from Slack. My options are: “Message Files 0 File”, and “Message Files 0 Url Private Download” but they both just upload an HTML file in my GDrive.

Hey I’m running into the same issue. Long term Zapier user. I’ve used the “File exists but not shown” thing a lot in the past and it usually just works. Now it is an html file telling me to log into Slack instead of the actual file that was shared.
I created a topic about this myself just now. I suspect it might be a bug?
The big mistake people usually make here is using a url to the file instead of the “file” itself. But looking at your screenshot you have the correct one. I used the same one… nothing
