Array Aggregator and WordPress Tag Creation Workflow in Make.com Free Plan

Questions
1

Hello Make.com community,

I am working on an automation scenario using the Make.com Free Plan and I need assistance with my workflow. I would like to automate the creation of tags for a blog post based on existing tags from WordPress and avoid duplicate tags.

Scenario Overview:

I’m trying to generate tags for a WordPress blog post based on the Clean Tag Name and Clean Tag Slug variables. Here’s how my workflow is structured:

  1. Set Clean Tag Variables

    • Module 10 & 11: The workflow begins by setting Clean Tag Name and Clean Tag Slug as variables.

  2. Search for Existing Tags

    • Module 12 (WordPress: Search Tags): I use the WordPress: Search Tags module to search for existing tags in WordPress that match the Clean Tag Name.

  3. Set Tag ID

    • Module 13 (Set ThisTagId): If I find a matching tag, I save its ID to a variable called ThisTagId.

  4. Create New Tags

    • Module 14 (WordPress: Create Tag): If no matching tag is found, I create a new tag in WordPress using the Clean Tag Name and Clean Tag Slug.

  5. Aggregate Tags

    • Module 15 (Array Aggregator): I use the Array Aggregator module to gather all the tag IDs (from both the existing and newly created tags).

  6. Map Function

    • Module 16 (Map Function): The Map function is used to process and generate the final list of tag IDs. Here, I combine the tag IDs from the Array Aggregator and any new tags created.

Key Workflow Considerations:

  • Tag Limit: The number of tags will not exceed 100 tags.
  • Avoiding Duplicates: If a tag already exists, I do not want to create it again. Instead, I will reuse the existing tags from the search result.
  • Final Tag List: The tags used in the post will be a combination of the existing tags found from the search and the newly created tags. These tags will then be associated with the post.

Issue:

When I try to map the tag IDs in the Map Function (Module 16), I get errors related to empty values and invalid expressions. Specifically, the expression:

{{map(15.array; if(coalesce(ThisTagId; "") != ""; ThisTagId; 14.id))}}

is throwing errors.

Additionally, in the Array Aggregator, I have selected the following:

  • Source Module: Set ThisTagId - Set variable [13]
  • Aggregated Fields: ThisTagId

Despite this setup, I am still unable to successfully map the tag IDs and create or update tags in WordPress.

Request:

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this issue or provide guidance on how to properly:

  • Handle empty values in the Map Function.
  • Properly set up Array Aggregator to avoid duplicates and ensure the right tags are used.
  • Combine both existing and newly created tags to create a final list.
  • Re-output the post with the correct tags.

Also, any suggestions on how to improve the workflow would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance! :folded_hands:
