Hey Thomas first of all thanks for your content and for sharing your knowledge!! I wanted to ask something. I got confused with the name of the files related with the ‘Pretty Date’. Does the ‘Pretty Date’ updates day by day, and we consequently name our files on the Google drive according with the day that should be posted? Or the Pretty Date always remains the same, so all the files on the drive need to be named with the Pretty Date + the date for being posted on the ? Hope I was clear with my question. Thanks!
No, it does not remain the same. Dynamic variables in Zapier are those that change. When you insert dynamic variables in Zapier, their values will always differ based on the context. In this case, the trigger is an event that occurs daily. Since the date changes every day in real life, following the calendar, you ensure that a different file is always chosen each day.
@@itsaithomas so the name of the files on the Google drive should always be the same as the “Pretty Date” when they should be posted?! Thank you for replying so fast!
@@Lang_CS Yes, exactly. If you want to name them differently, then use the function called "contains" in Zapier in that step as I have shown you in the video, and you can name it whatever you want, but always include that date as part of the name of the file.

@@itsaithomas is there anyway you have found to bulk rename these files to have the pretty date
