🆘 Aggregated Array of Addresses Appears as `{object}` in Google Sheets

How To

Hi everyone :waving_hand:

I’m hoping someone can help me with what seems like a small but very frustrating problem. It is insanely frustrating as I feel that I’m 99.99% there and yet the scenario doesn’t work.

:counterclockwise_arrows_button: My Scenario:

  • I’m retrieving a contact’s addresses from the CRM using an HTTP GET request.
  • The response is an array of address objects.
  • I pass this through a Basic Feeder → Basic Aggregator.
  • I then attempt to update a Google Sheet, writing the addresses into one cell

:white_check_mark: What Does Work:

  • The aggregator length ({{41.__IMTAGGLENGTH__}}) returns the correct number of addresses.
  • The flow runs successfully with no errors.
  • But…

:cross_mark: The Problem:
When I try to write the addresses to the sheet, I get either:

  • {object}, {object}
  • {object}
  • Or just a blank cell.

I’ve tried the following expressions for the Google Sheet field:

{{41.array}}
{{join(41.array; ", ")}}
{{join(map(41.array; "value"); ", ")}}
{{41.array[0].value}}

None of them work as expected.

:magnifying_glass_tilted_left: What I’ve Tried:

  • Switching to Text Aggregator with an Iterator — still couldn’t extract values

:red_question_mark: My Question:
How do I properly extract and join address values from the aggregated array to insert them into a single cell in Google Sheets?

I would be incredibly grateful for any help, especially if someone can explain how to:

  • Safely extract a field from each object in the array
  • Join them as a single string (ideally separated by commas or line breaks)
  • Write that string to a single cell AND THAT’S IT

Thank you :folded_hands:
I appreciate any suggestions — I’ve hit a wall with this one!

Hi @Daria2

Please provide an example of the array of address objects’ JSON.

Welcome to the Make community!

You have not yet provided sufficient information to demonstrate the problem that would allow us to reproduce the scenario and any error(s).

To allow others to assist you with your scenario, please provide the following:

1. Relevant Screenshots

Could you please share screenshots of your full scenario? Also include screenshots of any error messages, module settings (fields), relevant filter settings (conditions), and module output bundles. We need to see what you’re working with to give you the best advice.

You can upload images here using the Upload icon in the text editor:

We would appreciate it if you could upload screenshots here instead of linking to them outside of the forum. This allows us to zoom in on the image when clicked, and prevent tracking cookies from third-party websites.

2. Scenario Blueprint

Please export the scenario blueprint. Providing your scenario blueprint file will allow others to quickly recreate and see how you have set up the mappings in each module, and also allows us take screenshots or provide module exports of any solutions we have for you in return - this would greatly benefit you in implementing our suggestions as you can simply paste module exports back into your scenario editor!

To export your scenario blueprint, click the three dots at the bottom of the editor then choose ‘Export Blueprint’.

You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:

3. Output Bundles of Modules

Please provide the output bundles of each of the relevant modules by running the scenario (you can also get this without re-running your scenario from the History tab).

Click on the white speech bubbles on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.

A. Upload as a Text File

Save each bundle contents in a plain text editor (without formatting) as a bundle.txt file.

You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:

B. Insert as Formatted Code Block

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles.
These are the two ways to format text so that it won’t be modified by the forum:

  • Method 1: Type code block manually

    Add three backticks ``` before and after the content/bundle, like this:

    ```
    content goes here
    ```

  • Method 2. Highlight and click the format button in the editor

Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario, especially if there are complex data structures (nested arrays and collections) or if external services are involved, and help you with mapping the raw property names from collections.

Sharing these details will make it easier for others to assist you.
