I am generating a Google Document from a template.
-
Next, I am using the download a Document module to retrieve a PDF of the document I just created.
-
I am deleting the Google Doc created in the initial step, as I only need the PDF version and not the Google Docs file.
-
The challenge I'm facing is how to add the PDF saved in my Google Drive to the attachment field in Airtable.
-
My initial approach was to upload the PDF to Google Drive and then link it to the Airtable attachment field.
6a) When I examine the attachment field in the Airtable module, I observe two possibilities: one involves clicking the "Map" stitch, which presents a single field for mapping a value from preceding modules.
6b) The second option allows me to expand the field and map a File URL along with a file name.
- In both scenarios, I am uncertain about the specific value Airtable requires or where to locate it. My question is: what values do I need to provide to Airtable so that the PDF image appears correctly in the linked record field? Please refer to the image below for an illustration of my desired outcome.
Please provide the rewritten markdown content *it should be in the markdown format.

The output from the HTTP Get File module includes Data and File Name. However, the input for the Airtable attachment field requires a file URL and the Filename.

Hi, you’re on the right track. After uploading to Google Drive, you’ll need to add another module for Google Drive, specifically the “Get a Share Link” module. Ensure you configure it so the Role is set to Reader and the Type is set to Anyone.
Subsequently, you can utilize this Share Link within the File URL of the last image you shared.

Hello,
I'm encountering the very same issue.
I attempted to include a "Get a share link" module to pass that link back to the Airtable attachment field.
The scenario executes, but when I click the attachment in Airtable, it opens a blank document.
Did I overlook a step?
Thank you,
Pascal
