Good morning,

 

I have a Zap that automatically generates links in Google Sheets for images that are uploaded to Dropbox. When the links are first created, they seem to work fine and can be posted to Facebook + Google My Business in a separate Zap.

However, the day after the links are generated, we receive errors when attempting to use them. Here’s the Zap that pastes the links in the sheet:

 

Here are the errors that I’m receiving when attempting to open the images (usually a day later).

 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m not really sure where to go from here.

 

Thanks!

Wow thank you. I would have never come up with that on my own.
