Iterating and aggregating nested arrays

[Kate_Reynolds]

Hi there. Fairly new make user here, looking for some advice! I’m trying to pull calendar events from Outlook into Google Calendar, and want to pull in a field which is a single line text string of the names of all attendees from the outlook event separated by commas.

I’ve built out the following scenario which gives me the string of attendees (so is working in that respect) BUT:

1. It feels very step-heavy and I am sure there is a way to get there quicker, I just don’t know how to do it!

2. By doing it this way, when I get to the final step (uploading into GCal) I can no longer get to the data from the original event in order to reference it in the GCal event.

Here are images showing the setup of each step:

Any help or advice on how to write this better would be very much appreciated! Thanks

It’s still a little unclear what you are trying to do because you haven’t provided samples of the module outputs.

I think you are incorrectly aggregating the Trigger module. Delete modules [10] and [17].

If you need further assistance, please provide the following:

You have not yet provided sufficient information to demonstrate the problem that would allow us to reproduce the scenario and any error(s).

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

2. 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:

3. Output Bundles of Modules

Please provide the output bundles of each of the relevant modules 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:

  ```
  <sup>content goes here</sup>
  ```

• 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, and help you with mapping the raw property names from collections.

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.
