Posting multiple images to one Facebook Page Post

Is this possible?

I cannot for the life of me get it to work properly. At best I can get the same image to post multiple times but never multiple different images. Currently I am pulling my images from a Dropbox folder and creating download links. It works if I’m posting just one image. Any help getting past this hurdle will be greatly appreciated. :grin:

Hey Brad,

can you share screenshots of your scenario? If you are managing to get the same image multiple times → best guess is you are mapping an array wrong.

Combining Bundles Using Aggregators

Every result (item/record) from trigger/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.

You can find out more about the other types of aggregator modules here:

Mapping a Specific Structure Into a Complex Field

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” field in 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.

Example

Here is an example of how your scenario could look:

(replace sheets with Facebook)

This is just an example. Your final solution may or may not look like this depending on your requirements and actual input data.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Yes, here are a few screen-shots of my current scenario setup. I suspect it has something to do with the Dropbox Modules. Hopefully I am wrong and there is a way around this.



Samliew, I have tried running both an iterator and array aggregator to bundle my Dropbox results without success. I posted a screen-shot of my current scenario. thank you for your guidance.

You can see here no matter what the Dropbox sharelink module runs two operations. I assume this why Im not able to do this.

Setting the Correct Aggregator Source

You need to set the “Source Module” field of the aggregator to where the bundles are coming from. This is usually an iterator module, but can also be a search/list/repeater module, or even the trigger module.
