Workflow or Data Shuttle for PowerPoint Document Upload

I've done some research to see how I can have a PowerPoint file automatically uploaded to Smartsheet either via a workflow or via the data shuttle. It appears that PowerPoint isn't a supported file type and figured I'd post here to see if anyone else got this to work somehow. Thank you!

    Hi@Sarah123

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

    • Smartsheet API
    • 3rd-party integration like Zapier or Power Automate

    Is that an option?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

    @Andrée StaråThank you! I've tried Power Automate but couldn't get that to work (doesn't look like it has that function yet) and we don't have Zapier. But I'm going to look into Smartsheet API and see if that's an option I can get to work.

Hi @dsmitts.jay<\/a> <\/p>

Thank you for the screen captures!<\/p>

Would you mind testing something? Can you add a State<\/strong> before the second Get Sheet? It can be named anything, such as \"SecondGetSheet\" or something similar. <\/p>

My current guess at this point is that since you have two modules with the exact same name under the exact same state, the Run Log is only able to register one of them. Adding a State with a unique name above your second Get Sheet should bring the results into the Run Log for you... but let me know if it doesn't!<\/p>

Thanks,<\/p>
