HI,

Thank you for this. The const matches = message.match(notebookUrlPattern)
is now failing to match for some reason. I added logging to see the message data and it looks like it should work but matches is always null.

Any thoughts on that ?

This is absolute crap code but its working for now. I'mnot able to find good docs on the match function.

Here ya go

/* URL Concerns */
function notebookUrlFrom(message) {

Logger.log(message)
//const notebookUrlPattern = /U=(https%3A%2F%2Fkindle-content-requests-prod.s3.amazonaws.com.*Signature%3[a-zA-Z0-9]{65})/
//const matches = message.match(notebookUrlPattern)

const match1 = message.match(/https/)

if (!match1) return

const Start = match1.index

Logger.log(match1)

const match2 = message.match(/)Quest/)

if (!match2) return

const End = match2.index

const Url = message.substring(Start,End)

Logger.log(Url)

return(Url)

//return matches[1]
}

Thanks for posting that @trimonkee . Is this why it would be creating the folder in google drive and not saving the file there?

@trimonkee This is my fix, for some reason it was tripping up on matching alphanumerics. Not ideal, but it works

function notebookUrlFrom(message) {
  const matches = message.match(/https:\/\/kindle\-content\-requests\-prod.s3.amazonaws.com.*Signature\=.{64}/)
  
  console.log(`${matches[0]}`)

  if (!matches) {
    return
  }
  return matches[0]
}
