Hi I have a simple Zap created that when a new request comes in and goes to a specific view, it creates a certificate from a google slide template and then spits that back out to the original record in Airtable as a PDF. It works, but them automatically disappears. Any idea why this is happing?  Thank you!

Hi ​@alyfossett 

You likely are not using the correct link from Zap step 2, which needs to be a publicly available direct download link.

This tool will show you the correct link to use: https://sites.google.com/site/gdocs2direct/

 

For us to have more info, post screenshots showing how your Zap step 3 is configured in EDIT mode.
