Attachments uploaded via API vanish within seconds

[Sales_Asian_Dri]

Hi,
I am having a problem using Integromat to upload my email attachments to Airtable.
My process is to save attachments in Drive > Generate a direct download link (double checked that it works without requiring any login) > save all attachments in an array (multiple attachments) > upload the entire array to Airtable.

I also get the files uploaded to Airtable as seen on my Airtable base. But within seconds, all the files vanish. I am at the end of my wits trying to figure out the problem. My email is a Google Workspace account, and I am currently trying out the Pro plan of Airtable.

Also, the first few records uploaded using Zapier are still there. But Integromat uploads keep on disappearing.

Please help!

In my view, there is enough evidence to suggest Airtable has a dysfunction and a product manager should be all over this acting as the liaison with support.

This is the understatement of the year.

Looks like my vanishing PDFs are back… All was working as expected for about 2 weeks and now I am having the same issues, it is extremely frustrating.

I have reached out to Support @Jason, however I agree with Bill, this must be sorted - it is clearly a bug with the API as it works perfectly for periods of times and then has issues.

As predicted and experienced by countless users including @JN_tp.

I'm finding this now via Integromat/Make - uploads from Google Drive create a proto-file that has no content and immediately disappears.

I've used the same Google Drive actions as @ScottWorld - ie to generate an openly-available web share link. I've confirmed that this link does download the file.

But, when inserted to Airtable, it basically doesn't get added.

@Robert_Andrews It should work. You have to set the permissions properly when uploading the file. Please post your problem in my forums at TableForums.com, and the Make.com experts will help you out!
