Troubleshooting Lindy PDF Reading Issues with Google Drive

·

Hey - I can't get Lindy to read a PDF. I have the trigger set to read PDF's on being uploaded to google drive. Both the folder and the file are public. Is this a google drive problem or did I set something up incorrectly?

Hey 👋 You have to use the Read File action for files originating from Google Drive

Hi Jeremy M. - thanks for the advice. I'm now getting this error. To confirm, I've uploaded the file to a folder that has public editing permissions, can be viewed in an incognito tab, and also have my own google user linked to the google drive lindy task.

Hi Zwe N. 👋 Can you confirm the file you're trying to read is at the root folder or in a specific folder?

Definitely into the root folder. This one - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/108G_QlvfsIY4WIEFGYjqIeeIQVaYNY42
