Getting this error message when clicking the button to initiate a workflow to create a PDF. The template file is being recognised in Docs Automator as I have mapped the fields to the template and it has been able to create a preview PDF I sense Glide is having trouble finding the doc file that holds the PDF template, which is in my google drive and called Project Ignition.doc ![Screenshot 2025-02-23 at 1.23.14 pm](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/0/c0592c68b5719a07b51bc1e1ed3826aaa3f72b39.png) Here is the configuration ![Screenshot 2025-02-23 at 1.23.05 pm](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/0/307d4c4aebf493b78e3e5be5d9df3879f30fb6d1.png) Here is further detail on the error ![Screenshot 2025-02-23 at 3.46.30 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/9/493c60fb1622414e89936bbf1a7476e4d32df01e.png) ---

Are you sure that’s the template ID? Should it be something like a UUID or is it the actual ID? ---

Thanks for tagging @nathanaelb ! @alan_singer Please correct the “template id” (should be called automation id). This is the ID you find for your automation in your DocsAutomator account. ![Screenshot 2025-02-24 at 10.50.26](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/e/2ed55be5e70d1b359216b6edf9a8ebebfbc50b8a.png) ---

A huge shout out to @ThinhDinh @nathanaelb and @Rupert for helping me break through the tiny “blid spot” that was stopping me from getting going with DA. I have now become a subscribed user of DOcs Automator - It is an awesome product and easy to use and integrate with Glide - once you realise what the “template id” was requiring. I do need some help in handling fields tat have multiple entries in them so will be looking to get some support from @Rupert Thanks again to the community - you guys are beyond awesome!! ---
