Hi, a few days facing same problem, trying to build scenario that starts with get email and ends with send an email. First I used Gmail’s watch email as starting hook, everything worked well until it came to Send email module that have initial mail’s sender’s address as “send to” - however it always shows error “Missing value of required parameter ‘to’.“ I was trying many different ways (JSON, get variable, tricks like {{1.from[1].address}} or {{regexreplace(1.headers; “/^From:.<(.+@.+..+)>.$/m”; “$1”; “i”)}}, abusing AI which says “everything mapped right etc…) - same error all the time. However, everything work when I “hardcode” and email address into the SendMail module. Same time, I tried to paste sender’s address into the text during scenario and noticed that it also remains blank (same problem with getVariable), so looks like Watch email can’t pass the sender’s email forward (even thought it appears in module’s output with no problem), WHY?
Before gave up after a few days of battle, I tried to replace WatchMail with MailHook module, but cant set Gmail forwarding because Hook never receive the confirmation email.
I’m completely stuck, but want to ask before giving up on Make. Had someone faced similar issue?
The best way to get help here is to include screenshots in your post. Good luck!
Welcome to the Make community!
We’d love to help, however, you have not provided sufficient information to demonstrate the problem that would allow us to reproduce the scenario and any issue/s and/or error/s.
To allow others to assist you with your scenario, please provide the following:
1. All Relevant Screenshots
We need to see what you’re working with to give you the best advice. Screenshots are extremely important because Make is a visual editor — a picture provides us with more context.
It would help us identify the issue by having screenshots of:
- the full scenario,
- any error messages,
- individual module fields,
- relevant filter settings (conditions), and
- each module’s output bundles
- any external services (spreadsheet headers, sample data, regex101.com, etc.)
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’.
3. Module Output Bundles
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.
To provide code/text using Markdown format, you can type a code fence.
Add three backticks ``` in a separate line before and after the content, like this,
```
text goes here
```
Alternatively, you can upload your file and share the public link** —
(this method is only recommended for large files exceeding the forum upload limit)
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.
