Here is one of the actual files that is representative of the whole folder:

 

File link from drobox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zfklswowbelfd58/rsababady%40gmail.com%20%281%29.pdf?dl=0

Here is the link I have in the email when the zap attaches the file to an email using a ZAP: https://uc78f60ec0a523371f33f8f56bcc.dl.dropboxusercontent.com/cd/0/get/B4Bu1CCU7SwX0O457Caov-UGnf7M94bpB5ZpOPjIjSUb6ZT5aNwW9hgQb5BZ-loqOVjwOT_-WN8Y2IFks3By6SmaJAp1fqaEj6klDLY6AEOAYrFSfQVh9HaMzUUVhb0Sa94KlV008rPHF5y95ZyzhPlpAQyq-l_BOlgRAZGBMEwVM1wLRNnklcWPo-fdzb_yTVU/file

    Thanks for the additional information there Robert_S  - much appreciated.

     

    It looks like Zapier is using a direct temporary link, which is expected to expire. The link beginning with http://www.dropbox.com/s/ is a permanent link. 

     

    Since the integration is coming from Zapier, you'd need to reach out to them for further assistance on this since it's an issue their devs might need to troubleshoot. 

     

    I hope this helps!
