I have an array with collection 1 and collection 2 and need to extract a certain value from each collection in the same run. More specifically I want to get the “name” as an output (SBE Digital and Zapmail). See screenshot for clarification.

I tried playing around with the get and map function but can’t seem to get it right.

Hi @Sam_Bastiaens,

Even for complex arrays such as this, you can use the `map()` function. If you want the name of each item in the `email_account_tag_mappings[]`, you can use this:

`{{map(email_account_tag_mappings; "tag.name")}}`

Cheers,  
Henk

Thank you Henk. This fixed it. I was always just using “name” and not “tag.name” hence why it didn’t work.
