Hey y’all,
I’m having an issue with the Gmail module in my automation. I have a form where users provide their primary email, which is set as the recipient. Additionally, they can add up to five extra emails for CC.
The problem is that if a user doesn’t fill in all the CC fields, Make.com returns an error because some fields are blank.
I never had this issue in Zapier, but it seems like Make.com handles empty fields differently. Is there a way to automatically ignore blank email fields so the automation doesn’t break?
Thanks in advance!
Welcome to the Make community!
To do this, you can use the built-in functions add and remove —
{{ remove(add(array; value1; value2; ...); value1; value2; ...) }}
e.g.:
{{ remove(add(emptyarray; 1.emailA; 1.emailB; 1.emailC); null) }}
For more information, the function’s documentation can be found in the Help Centre. You should also complete the tutorials in the Make Academy.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
