Hi all,
I have been trying to get image attachment from Gmail and feed it to HTTP module. I am using HTTP module to call GPT4o api where we can give an image input and get the text extracted from it. I am getting HTTP 500 error: Internal server error which I am assuming is due to the image format I am selecting. Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance. JSON input of http where I am inputting the image file:

{
            type: "image_url",
            image_url:"Input",
          }

Welcome to the Make community!

Yes, that is possible. You’ll need a minimum of four modules:

Give it a go and let us know if you have any issues!

Every result (item/record) from an iterator module will output a bundle. To “combine” them into a single structure, you’ll need to use an aggregator of some sort.

Aggregators are modules that accumulate multiple bundles into one single bundle. An example of a commonly-used aggregator module is the Array aggregator module.

The Array Aggregator module allows you to build a complex array of collections for a later module’s field to map multiple items (collections) to it.

Here is an example of using the “Target structure type” of an Array Aggregator module:

As you can see, the “Map” toggle on fields are used when you have an array. You can easily build an array variable to map to a field, by using an Array Aggregator module and select the “Target Structure Type” as the future field you want to map the array into.
