Aggregator does not aggregate the fields, that I ask him to aggregate

How To

Hi everyone! I have a problem with aggregator, maybe someone already had it and can give me an advice. I have a text parser, that gives me 5 separated tags, them iterator takes each tag, checks in WP if such a tag already exists and wenn not (for this I have a filter), then another WP module creates this tag. I want to get in the Aggregator ID from search WP module and TagID from Create Tag. But in the end I get only results from search module and after running a Scenario I check aggregator again and see that TagID is not selected anymore. How can I solve it?

Can I see what you configured in the array?

Welcome to the Make community!

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

1. Relevant Screenshots

Please share screenshots of your scenario, any error messages, relevant module fields, and filters in question? It would really help other community members to see what you’re looking at.

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

2. Scenario Blueprint

Please export the scenario blueprint file to allow others to view the mapped variables in the module fields. At the bottom of the scenario editor, you can click on the three dots to find the Export Blueprint menu item.

3. Output Bundles of Modules

Please provide the output bundles of the modules by running the scenario (or get from the scenario History tab), then click the white speech bubble on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.

A. Upload as Text File

Save each bundle contents in your text editor as a bundle.txt file, and upload it here into this discussion thread.

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 even if they do not use the external service.

Following these steps will allow others to assist you here. Thanks!

You’ll need to split the categories by comma-space so that it becomes an array.

Then, use an iterator on the array so that you can process each category at a time.

Create new category using the name.

Then, if category exists, there will be an error. Handle the error by searching for the category, and resuming with the existing category ID.

Then, aggregate the category IDs into an array using the Array Aggregator.

You can then insert the array of category IDs into the tag/category field.

Similarly, this works the same way for the Wordpress Tags field.
