I have two tables in Airtable: groups and contacts. One group has their participants (contacts), so the field “participants” is linked to the table contacts and can have multiple records.
Now, I have a scenario in Make where I find a contacts and if they are found I want to link them to the group record, and if not - then first create a contact and then link it to the group.
The problem is that I have two modules where I generate contact record IDs (red ones) and want to linked all of these records to one group record (green ones).
How to generate one array and link it to the record?
Welcome to the Make community!
You can put them all in series, with an aggregator to combine the outputs/results of the Add Record modules.
Aggregators
Every result (item/record) from a list/search/match module 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.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
