How to access collections in an array

How To

What are you trying to achieve?

I am trying to grab answers from my Calendly watch event and map it to an Airtable column. I don’t know how to actually get the answer I want. The dynamic content only shows data for one Q and A. I can’t pick the other ones in the array.

Steps taken so far

I’ve watched a few videos and read some guides on how to work with collection and array, but I don’t know how they work. A common answer I saw is to use an iterator and then text aggregator.
What do I actually put inside the modules? I don’t understand, what I am doing here.

Hi @Peter_Chen,

Welcome to the Make community!

You’ll have to map() it:

Welcome to the Make community!

A Text Aggregator only returns a single text variable combining all the items in the iterated array, according to the format you composed.

Are you sure this is what you want?

If not, see Mapping with arrays below:
