Hello,
I’m trying to create a zap that does the following:
1. On a ‘new txt file’ being uploaded to a directory;
2. Extract the txt from the file;
3. Pass the txt along to Roam Research, and upload it into the Daily Notes for today
I don’t seem able to pull out the txt from a new file being uploaded to Google Drive.
Is anyone able to help me?
Hi
I would use “Files by Zapier” to accomplish this! Hope this helps!

Thanks for the response
What do I need to set in the Configure section?

And then what do I put in the Roam Research section to use the input from step 2 as the input for my daily notes page?

Hi
Help link for getting different GDrive File link formats:
You likely need to add a Filter as Zap step 2 to make sure you are processing only the GDrive file types you want.
Filter help: https://zapier.com/apps/filter/integrations#help
From you screenshot:
- you need to remove the tailing: /
- the mapped variable has “No data”, so you need to make sure to select a representative trigger step example that has a value for the mapped variable
- that means you may need to chose a different record to test with

Hey
Let us know how it’s going, happy to lend a hand if you’re still stuck at all! 🙂
Thank you for following up
Hi
Glad to hear you got things working, even if it's not quite perfect yet—integrating tools like Supernote and Roam Research can be tricky. To improve the setup, double-check your data mapping, consider using intermediate steps to format data, and review any API limitations. It may also help to consult Zapier Experts for tips and continue testing small adjustments for better results.
