i am trying to automate facebook post from airtable . i can do that but whenever i am trying to add photos from airtable along with a post , i cant do that .
Can anyone help me out pls ?
Hello. Welcome to the Make community!
Can you please describe a bit more what you want to achieve?
- do you want to do 1 post per record in Airtable?
- is there only one image per post or do you want to add multiple images for each post?
- what fields from Airtable do you use? Is « image » the field that contains the image you want to add in the FB post? Is it a binary image or an url?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply .
- Yes I want to post single record per post .
- Initially I want to post single image but I would like to add multiple images later .
- I have attached the airtable image . Please check . I dnt understand you clearly . I hv two fields , one for text and another for image . In The image field , I uploaded images . So I think it’s a binary file .
Hope to get solution soon.
Thanks in advance
I made a test, and actually the image is an url, and not a binary file. It was important because it guides us for the configuration of facebook.
Let’s assume that for now, you post only one image per post. Doing multiple is more tricky because you will need to use an Iterator and an Aggregator.
Let me show you an example I just built
This is my Airtable data (I will use “Name” for the title of my post
As you see here, I get an array called “image”, with a URL field
This is how I configured FB. I assume there is only one image, so when I drag&drop URL, it maps “image:URL”, by default Make will use index 1 (the first an only image).
These are the beautiful posts I get
Can you give it a try?
If the records in Airtable contain more images and you want to add all of them in a Post, you will need to iterate through the image array and aggregate all in the format FB expects. It’s more tricky, but completely doable.

This is my Scenario but still now um getting error ! 
I don’t see any error here?! But just to make sure; are you testing with « Run Once » that appears on the bottom-left corner of the scenario or are you doing « run this module only »?
It’s better you test running the whole scenario.
The Watch records can be reset if you right-click on it and select « choose where to start »

Nothing Happens if i run the scenario .
« Watch » modules are used to get only new records. Since you already tested the module, it won’t return you the items already found, that’s why you should use the « choose where to start » option i explained earlier

I never tried, but I suppose it works. However, it seems to be a little different; there is a « upload a video » module. But it seems to be not related to any post. Which means it works differently that posts with images
Glad to hear that the issue is resolved now.
