Check if the variable “Download URL” is a publicly accessible direct download link.

You can test this by copy/paste into a new/different private browser to see if it initiates a file download.

Hi @30dayguitarist 

Check your Zap app connection here: https://zapier.com/app/connections

We would need to see screenshots with how your Zap step “ACTION” section is configured to have more context.

 

 


Hi thanks for helping me. Is this what you need?
I tested the connection.
