I am trying to use the Instagram for business module to post an carousel but everytime I use a JSON input it fails.
This is my JSON input: {
“files”: [
{
“image_url”: “”,
“media_type”: “IMAGE”
},
{
“image_url”: “”,
“media_type”: “IMAGE”
}
]
}
You’ll actually have to use an Iterator-ArrayAggregator combo to insert an ARRAY of file COLLECTIONS, and not a STRING of JSON representation.
Every result (item/record) from iterator/list/search/match modules will output a bundle. This can result in multiple bundles, which then trigger multiple operations in future modules (one operation per bundle). To “combine” multiple bundles into a single variable, 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 next popular aggregator is the Text Aggregator which is very flexible and can apply to many use-cases like building of JSON, CSV, HTML.
There are other types of aggregator modules, click the below links to find out more:
The Array Aggregator module is very powerful because it allows you to build a complex array of collections for a later module’s field to map multiple items (collections) to it.
This is done using the “Target structure type” of an Array Aggregator module.
Here is an example:
As you can see, the “Map” toggle on complex fields are used when you have an array. You can easily build an array variable to map to a future module’s field, by using an Array Aggregator module and select the “Target Structure Type” as the future module’s field you have mapped the array into.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

This works thanks! Do you also know how this works for the linkedin module?
