Filter is blocking my attachments

Beginner Questions

:thinking: What is the problem?

I added a filter saying, if the file contains “Assign 1”, let it through,’ I used “Contains”, “case insensitive” and tried every other text operator but it did the exact opposite. It was rather blocks it.

I tried “Equal to” “case insensitive” but it’s still the same result. It blocks the attachment rather than letting it through.

:test_tube: What have you tried so far?

Map the correct filename field in the filter. If you map the wrong field, Contains (case insensitive) will always block instead of pass.

The filename is “Assign 1” as it is in the image, the only place that is different is the Label which I put in “Assign”. Can you please explain more on what yon mean

Hey Kwasi,

can you show what the output of the iterator looks like?

Yeah I will share that now

Hello,

The “List email attachments and media” module already outputs each attachment as a separate bundle.

Iterators only work with ARRAYS, not BUNDLES. Hence, you should simply delete your Iterator module.

You can learn more about iterators and bundles in these Make Academy units:

Introduction to Iterators and Array aggregators

  • Iterating an array into bundles
  • Aggregating an array from bundles
  • Iterator and Aggregator use cases

Modules, scheduling and bundles

  • Introduction to triggers
  • Scheduling your scenario
  • Introduction to bundles

Hope this helps! If you are still having trouble, please provide more details.

I deleted the Iterator but it didn’t work

I posted a screenshot of my Iterator yesterday when you asked for it but the community moderator disabled my post because he said I created duplicate threads

10

So post it here? Don’t create a new thread.

Also I strongly suggest you check this https://academy.make.com/

Yeah I started taking the course yesterday. I’ve added screenshots of the iterator to the posts. Can you please check it

12

Yeah the value is Attachment and not Assign 1, this is why its not passing the filter.

What are you iterating here exactly?

13

I’m iterating attachments from a single email to different google drive folders

14

The list module already iterates attachments, no need for an iterator after it.

Thank you, I’ll try that
