I'm trying to copy a googledoc to dropbox (part of a larger zap) and change the extension to rtf (doc would be fine too). In the Upload to Dropbox action, I can't figure out which which option to use in the "File" field. When using the data from the prior action, there are a ton of options but I don't see one that includes the body of the file. I keep getting rtfs with the title in place of the body. Any ideas? Thank you

Here’s a more detailed explanation of the zap:
1 Trigger: New Thread in Gmail unread
2 Filter only continue if message subject has x and
only continue if message subject does not have y
3 Text in Formatter: transform "Message subj" with separator keep Segment index 1
4 Text in Formatter: Split "Message body plain" keep segment 1
5 Text in Formatter: Split on 4:ID:1 and keep segment 0
6 Create text file in Googledocs
file name 3 Output
File content 5 Output
7 Upload file in Dropbox
File (this is where I'm getting tripped up)
filename 6. Title
Specify extension rtf
Problem solved: Ultimately I wanted to convert this to PDF so I found a different way to go about it wih CloudConvert.
I never did figure out the right setting to get the body of the file to transfer over from googledocs to Dropbox as a doc or rtf, which I wanted because the target folder has an PDF-conversion set up already, but doesn’t work with txt files.
