Tweet -> Text File -> Email Attachment

Hello,

 

I want to create a zap that takes liked tweets, saves them to a text file, then once a day emails the text file as an atchement.

 

I’m having trouble identifying the right app to be able to generate the text file.

 

Any suggestions?

Hey @chuckblake,

I think you can achieve this with the following workflow:

  1. Trigger: Twitter - Liked Tweets
  2. Action: Google Docs - Create Doc from Text
  3. Action: Schedule (here you set a time for when you send it)
  4. Action: Gmail - Send Email (Use only the part of the text you would like)

Let me know if this helps. Best Wishes

Hi @chuckblake 

To further what @Ennes suggested

Try this GDoc action

Hey, @chuckblake 

This may not be what you are looking for but if you are just storing the information to be able to send a email at the end of the day, then you could use the Zapier Digest and then release the txt embedded in the email.

Troy also mentioned utilizing the “Append Text to Document” action as a way to refine that workflow. Finally another alternative:

I hope this helps! Happy zapping! ⚡️
