Hello everyone,

I need some help. 
I've created a ZAP where, each time an image is added to a Google Drive folder, it gets posted on Google My Business as a post using the image's URL.
The problem is, I'm not sure which URL to use among the many that are provided. It seems like they all cause issues.
Additionally, I keep encountering the error: "Quota exceeded for quota metric 'V4 General Requests'," but with some persistence, it seems to resolve itself.

Can someone help me figure out which URL to use for the uploaded file?
Thank you.

Hi @gSchettino 

Help article about sending files in Zaps: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496288813453

The file url needs to be a publicly accessible direct download link.

You may need to change the file sharing preference for the file or GDrive Folder where the files are saved.

 

Tool to use to help you understand the format of a GDrive file direct download link: https://sites.google.com/site/gdocs2direct/

 

Thanx but,

 

the folder is open.

i’ve also tried with a formatted step wich take the picture id and past:

 

before:https://drive.usercontent.google.com/download?id=

in the middle: the picture’s ID 

after id:&export=download in this case i’ve also tried with &export=view 

 

this link structure send directly to the picture

But the photo source url that google my business required seems to be unfindable and the zap doesn’t work.

Other solutions?

For us to have full context, post screenshots with how your Zap steps are outlined and configured in EDIT mode.

This is how i’m tryng now.

Can you include the full File ID?
