How do I get the fileName or docID of the archived PDFs from a workflow rule which creates an email PDF attachment for every new order?

(Note: the archived PDFs are in the attachments folder.) I’m guessing there must be a sequential generation of fileNames for the PDFs.

The intention is to provide the user to be able to view the PDF for each order through the App on a mobile device through an Action, if need be.

Thanks in advance.

Yeap… that’s one workaround.

@Aleksi_Alkio Thank you for the prompt response. Have checked the older post and found your instructions as below:

=CONCATENATE(“https://www.appsheet.com/template/gettablefileurl?appName=",“YourAppName-YourAccountIDnumber”,"&tabl...”,[PdfColumnName])

I’m stuck at creating the file path. Not sure how to assign/or where to get PdfColumnName.

The column name is the file column name what you are using in your table.

@Aleksi_Alkio Sorry if I am not explaining clearly. I’d like to be able to let the user view the archived PDFs created by the email workflow rule. I do not have a column for the file names. The name is auto-generated partly with the name from the workflow and then with the date and time. I do not have control over the generation of the archived PDFs. However, I was wondering if there is a way to locate which PDF corresponds to which row, so the same can be provided for the user in the app the view.

Aaa… sorry I misunderstood your request. I’m afraid that should not be possible at this moment because we don’t know the file name before the workflow is triggered.

@Aleksi_Alkio Thank you for your response. I was wondering if it would be possible to access this variable and store it in a column: _ATTACHMENTFILENAME (as described further in this article:

I’m afraid that won’t work either because of the same timing reason.

@Aleksi_Alkio Thanks for your prompt responses. As I don’t want to be generating PDFs through third-party addons, the workaround I have resorted to achieve what I want, is to have IFTTT get the attachment from gmail and store it in Google Drive - so I know the location and file name - for me to display to the user.
