Hello Gliders! Hope you are all doing wonderful! I saw the EMAIL TRIGGER tutorial in Glide University where they parse a PDF file (an invoice). I want to do pretty much the same, except I will receive a CSV (comma delimited) file which I then want to parse and place every value in a corresponding…

Should be CSV to JSON, then work with the JSON through a loop (in your email workflow) to add them to corresponding places.

Thanks Thinh, I am close but not there yet. Through an Email Trigger workflow, I have been able to write the URL of the CSV file in a column in a Glide Table. I also added a “CSV to JSON” column, but it says that I need “the csv string, not a URL to a csv file”. So what I cannot figure out is how…

Nope, I will actually receive one file once a month

So if you write the URL to a normal text column, would it work with your flow? I was wondering why you would use a Multiple Files column there for Attachment (I assume it’s a Multiple Files column). One further question, do you have to actually store the URL? If you’re using an email workflow and h…

I believe Glide’s email action requires a multi file for attachments.

Thanks for writing Thinh. As Darren says, the email trigger action requires a multi file column for the attachment. To be sincere I have not tried the other two options you mentioned because my customer said it would be also fine to upload the csv file with a “file picker” component so I did it th…

Use a “Get Webpage Source” column (against the URL) and grab the RAW HTML, then a CSV to JSON of that column.
