Help Needed: Iterator module results as separate JSON output?

I am new to Make.com and have spent hours watching tutorials and browsing the community forum trying to figure this out on my own - but am stuck. I figure asking is the next way to go, maybe one of you fine folks know the answer!

I’m trying to use Make.com connected to Creatomate, to create videos using stock footage from Pexels.

I have an HTTP GET module that finds 8 different videos, each based on a keyword from an array. Then a JSON module that parses the output to find each video’s URL, then an Iterator to list each URL separately. Here’s where I’m stuck.

Creatomate wants the input to their platform to be as JSON, in separate outputs, where each can be mapped to the placeholder video in my edit.
Their screenshot (where Image-1, Image-2 etc is the placeholder item in the edit):

My current Make scenario:

And last step before Creatomate (currently):

How to do this? Do I need to add a JSON module as the step before Creatomate?
(I tried and it failed with the error: Not valid JSON")
Maybe in that module I’m supposed to “Create a data structure” ? If so, what is the data structure?

I found this in the community posts but I’m not sure if it’s what I’m trying to do.

Would really appreciate being pointed in teh right direction. Thank you! :folded_hands:

I found another post in the forum, which suggested hard-coding. I tried referencing the JSON output bundles separately like this:


Didn’t work, Creatomate didn’t that data, and rendered 8 different edits with no videos :frowning:

Anyone have any ideas?

@happygardening Hello are you follow a template or you are creating this all by yourself

Welcome to the Make community!

To allow others to assist you with your scenario, please provide the following:

1. 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:

2. Output Bundles of Modules

Please provide the output bundles of each of the relevant modules [6, 39] 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.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

P.S.: Investing some effort into the Make Academy will save you lots of time and frustration using Make.

Thank you for your guidance!
