Automatic Trigger Fails but Manual Trigger OK. Why?

:bullseye: What is your goal?

To resolve the issue on Automatic Trigger

:thinking: What is the problem & what have you tried?

I am encountering an issue with a Make.com scenario. The HTTP module designed to download an image fails with an error when the scenario runs automatically via its trigger. However, when I manually execute the scenario using ‘Run Once,’ it works perfectly without errors. Could you explain the discrepancy between the manual and automatic runs and how to resolve it?

Welcome to the Make community!

Without information on the output of the Iterator module, we can only see that it is due to the fact that each array item did not fufill the filter’s condition.

We’d love to help, however, we require more information that demonstrates the problem to help us reproduce the scenario execution and any issues and errors.

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

1. All Relevant Screenshots

We need to see what you’re working with to give you the best advice. Screenshots are important because Make is a visual editor — a picture provides us with more context.

It would help us identify the issue by having screenshots of:

  • the full scenario, and the zoomed in parts of the scenario that you are referring to (if your scenario is huge),
  • a full scenario run/execution from the history (showing output “speech” bubbles),
  • relevant module fields (showing how you’ve used any built-in functions, and how you’ve mapped the variables),
  • relevant filters between modules (showing which operators and any built-in functions you’ve used, and how you’ve mapped the variables),
  • relevant module input/output bubbles,
  • if applicable, any error messages,
  • and if applicable, any external services (spreadsheet headers/ sample data/ regex101.com/ etc. to show the item/ record exists, and is set up correctly).

2. Scenario Blueprint

Providing your scenario 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 benefit you in implementing our suggestions as you can view screenshots of the changes or paste corrected modules back into your scenario.

A. Export Blueprint

In the scenario editor, click the three dots at the top-right, then select “Export blueprint”.

  • You can upload files and images to this forum by clicking on the upload button:

    Uploading an attachment here will look like this:
    blueprint.json (12.3 KB)

B. Create Public Share Link

In the scenario editor, click on the Share button:

Read more about the scenario sharing feature in the Help Centre.

3. Properly-formatted Output Bundles from a Scenario Run

Please provide the input/output bundles of each of the relevant modules by running the scenario, or get the bundles from a previous run from the Scenario “History” tab.

Providing the bundles from a scenario run will allow others to replicate what is going on, especially if there are complex data structures (nested arrays and collections) and external services. This helps mapping the correct raw variable names from collections (instead of the label/display name).

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

A. Upload a Text File

Save each bundle contents in a plain text editor as a moduleNumber-output.txt file. Open the file to check if it has not added additional formatting or encoded the plain text.

  • You can upload files and images to this forum by clicking on the upload button:

    Uploading an attachment here will look like this:
    module1-input.txt (1.2 KB)
    module1-output.txt (3.4 KB)

B. Insert a Formatted Code Block

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the bundles AND format them correctly.

:warning: Formatting IS Important! :warning:

Here are some ways to provide text content in a way that it won’t be modified by the forum.

  • Method 1: Type code fence manually
    Manually type three backticks ``` in a separate line before and after the content, like this,

    ```
    text goes here
    ```
    
  • Method 2: Highlight the pasted content, then click the preformatted text/code button

  • Method 3: Upload your file elsewhere and share the public link
    This method is only advised for large files exceeding the forum upload limit.

Sharing these details will make it easier for others to assist you, so that you can get better answers, faster.

P.S.: investing some effort into the tutorials in the Make Academy will save you lots of time and frustration using Make!

This is the Iterator Image however the Download still have an error, this will only happen on automation.

Currently what I am doing is added delay of 10 seconds before downloading it and added a error handler ignore

Hey,
So from the images, I can see most rows are empty, meaning they don’t pass the filter.

Hey there,

there is no error message in none of your screenshots. They are showing that the bundles did not pass the filter and never reached the HTTP module.
