I’m having a problem with my Zap. i need help
I’ve set up an automation to analyze contracts for lawyers. The workflow seems to work correctly at first: when I upload a new contract, it gets analyzed and a new Google Doc is created with the correct content from that specific contract.

The issue comes when the summary is emailed. Instead of sending the summary of the new contract, I always receive the same summary from the very first test contract I used.

So the document creation works properly i think, but the email step is stuck sending the old summary instead of the latest one. Below are screenshots with my zap please check them out. Thanks

Hi ​@viktor 2222 

There are a few issues…

 

Step 4

You need to remap some variables for the Document Name. (screenshot)

 

Step 5

You have a static File chosen instead of mapping a dynamic variable of the ID of the file from Zap step 4.

 

Step 6

Screenshots do not show any variables mapped from Zap step 5.

here is screenshot from step 6

 

​@viktor 2222 

For step 6, the Attachments, need to be remapped with a variable from Zap step 5.

​@viktor 2222

​@viktor 2222 

Same issue for Zap step 5, you have a static File selected.

You need to use the [...] button to change to “Custom” mode and map the ID of the File from Zap step 4.
