Hi, The output of my array looks like this: "item1", "item2", "item3" But to use it in Dropbox API call it needs to be without the space (otherwise it can not decode the JSON body), like so: "item1","item2","item3" [image] I use the set variable tool to remove empty strings from the array and…

I have worked it out using the Join() function and then using the comma as separator. Works like a charm now. Problem solved.

Have you tested what does work in something like postman? What’s the api spec for multi file upload with Dropbox? Maybe your array is not correct for the paths key?

But it works when the input is like this: "Item1", "item2" And for some reason it doesn’t work when the input is this: "Item1", "item2", "item3"

That really makes no sense. Make a scenario that doesn’t have the red lines with data you can share.

Input: [image] Dropbox module: [image] Dropbox error: [image] Doesn’t work. Now the same situation (same dropbox module) but instead of the input having 4 items, it only has 1: [image] Dropbox success: [image]

This is a case of some sort of weird gremlins in the body. Can you look in the input bundle on the make api call and see what the underlying structure actually is?

How would I best go about that? I’m not all that well-versed in any of this, but I try to make do.

Do you mean this? [ { "url": "/2/files/create_folder_batch", "body": "{\n \"autorename\": false,\n \"force_async\": false,\n \"paths\": [\n \"/Testing Environment/Folder/test 1\",\"/Testing Environment/Folder/test 1/a\", \"/Testing Environment/Folder/test 1/b\", …

See the little icon in the upper right that has a little down arrow. You can look at output bundle. And then you want to try this all in postman to see actually what make api is supposed to do.

Postman seems a little bit too complicated for my skill level in all of this. What is interesting though is that the following works in comparison to the snippet of code I provided above: [ { "url": "/2/files/create_folder_batch", "body": "{\n \"autorename\": false,\n \"fo…

Yeah I hope those extra \n don’t mess it up. Try postman.
