Dilemma - Upload a Resource: Adding tags / Make an API Call: Signature needed

How To
, ,
1

Hi,

I am sending images to Cloudinary using the built-in modules in Make.

I’d prefer to use the built-in solutions but none of them solves my issue and therefor I ask humbly the community for help.

Option 1
Add a Resource: My images are sent with signatures and all Cloudinary functionality are available, however I am unable to add Tags to the uploads which is critical for my use case.

Option 2
Make an API Call: I am able to add Tags to uploads, however this module does not apply the signature to the payload and therefor Cloudinary restricts certain functions, one being the “overwrite if Public ID already exists” which is critical to me.

Ideas:

  • Can i somehow generate a signature and add into my Make An API Call module?

  • Can I “hack” the Upload a Resource module somehow to be able to add Tags?

  • One solution could be to add a man-in-the-middle module to add the wanted Tags to each image, however that is not a beautiful solution and in addition costs operations which should be avoided, especially when scaled.

Documentation regarding signatures here:

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Welcome to the Make community!

What happens? Are there any error messages? What exactly fails?

Nope, but you can request for features to be added to the module.

You can submit this suggestion to the Idea exchange, under App improvement ideas

If you need further assistance, please provide the following:

1. Relevant Screenshots

Could you please share screenshots of your scenario? Also include screenshots of any error messages, module configuration fields, and any filter settings. We need to see what you’re working with to give you the best advice.

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

2. Scenario Blueprint

Please export the scenario blueprint. Providing your scenario blueprint file 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 greatly benefit you in implementing our suggestions as you can simply paste module exports back into your scenario editor!

To export your scenario blueprint, click the three dots at the bottom of the editor then choose ‘Export Blueprint’.

You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:

3. Output Bundles of Modules

Please provide the output bundles of each of the relevant modules by running the scenario (you can also get this without re-running your scenario from the History tab).

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

A. Upload as a Text File

Save each bundle contents in a plain text editor (without formatting) as a bundle.txt file.

You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:

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, especially if there are complex data structures (nested arrays and collections) or if external services are involved.

Sharing these details will make it easier for others to assist you.

Thanks for answering.

Nothing fails, but there is no option in the module to add tags or additional parameters.

Alright, I guess this is a feature request then.

These were provided in the post.

Thanks.
