Ingredients
Temporary public attachment url
Link to a temporary copy of the attachment, hosted by IFTTT rather than Gmail. Anyone with the link can open the file until the copy is removed after about a day, so use it in this Applet rather than saving it. Filled only on the result IFTTT copied.
Temporary private attachment url
Link to the same temporary IFTTT-hosted copy that only you can open, and only while signed in to IFTTT. The copy is removed automatically about a day later. Filled on the same result as the public link; empty on the others.
