Hi everyone! 
I’m running into an issue with my Make.com scenario for creating Instagram carousel posts. Here’s the setup:
- Data Source: I’m pulling records from Airtable.
- Image Generation: Each Airtable record is passed to Placid, which generates multiple images based on the data.
- Goal: The objective is to take these generated images and post them together as a single carousel post on Instagram (one post with multiple images as slides).
- Current Issue: Instead of creating a single carousel post with multiple images, my scenario is creating multiple individual posts—each one containing the same image repeated, rather than different images in one carousel.
What I’ve Tried:
- I’ve used the Array Aggregator module to collect all image URLs into a single array, hoping it would consolidate them for a carousel post.
- However, it still seems like the Instagram module is interpreting the array incorrectly, resulting in separate posts for each image rather than combining them into a single carousel.
Any advice would be appreciated

Array Aggregator – mapping multiple bundles into a complex field
The Array Aggregator module is very powerful because it allows you to build a complex array of collections for a later module’s field to map multiple items (collections) to it.
This is done using the “Target structure type” of an Array Aggregator module.
Here is an example:
As you can see, the “Map” toggle on complex fields are used when you have an array. You can easily build an array variable to map to a future module’s field, by using an Array Aggregator module and select the “Target Structure Type” as the future module’s field you have mapped the array into.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Thank you! This really helped. I appreciate it! 
I set up the Array Aggregator properly now and mapped the array to Instagram module.
But now I am having another issue.
I was getting a message saying there are less than two parameters in the array so it doesnt work. I checked the output of Airtable and it is outputting all the bundles, however, in Placid, it is only now making one image. It was making all of them before?
I’m very confused. I have tried adding a Iterator between Airtable and Placid but they didnt work. I also tried a Repeater and that didnt work.
I went to ChatGPT and it suggested a Router for each of the Placid images to be created separately but that seems unnecessary when I am sure there is a better way.
Do you know what could be going on here?
Looks like the “Source Module” field of your Array Aggregator needs to point to where your bundles are coming from, which is the “Search” module.
Aggregators
Every result (item/record) from iterator/list/search/match modules will output a bundle. This can result in multiple bundles, which then trigger multiple operations in future modules (one operation per bundle). To “combine” multiple bundles into a single variable, you’ll need to use an aggregator of some sort.
Aggregators are modules that accumulate multiple bundles into one single bundle. An example of a commonly-used aggregator module is the Array aggregator module. The next popular aggregator is the Text Aggregator which is very flexible and can apply to many use-cases like building of JSON, CSV, HTML.
There are other types of aggregator modules, click the below links to find out more:
