PrintNode Integration not Populating Fields with Values from previous step

[ashg]

Im not sure if the PrintNode integration is broken or not but it’s not taking in the values from the previous steps.
Here I am setting the URI and the Title (yellow):

Here you can see the variables are actually populated from the previous step:

Here its appears to be showing the values aren’t populating the fields:

Here I try running it and it errors out:

If I enter the values manually it works, but it’s not working when passing the mappings from the previous step. Any ideas why this is happening?

If I enter the values manually it works, but it’s not working when passing the mappings from the previous step. Any ideas why this is happening?

This is because you are only running the module itself/alone. When you do that, there is no “previous module” to get the values from, that’s why it prompts you for manual values input.

Try running the full scenario by clicking on the “Run Once” button on the bottom left.

This is covered in the Make Academy, which I strongly suggest you complete.

Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too —

That seemed to get the data to flow. Is there no way to retain data to test individual steps so I don’t have to run the entire scenario every time?

[samliew]

You can save the “Output Bundle” of the previous module,

Detach your scenario,

Add a “Parse JSON” module, and paste the “Output Bundle” in it.

Then connect to the module where you want to continue.

It’s very troublesome since you still need to remap your variables.

Retaining data to test individual steps is a great idea! I’m sure others would agree that this is a nice feature to have.

You can submit this suggestion to the Idea exchange, under Platform ideas and improvements

Don’t forget to search for it first, just in case someone already suggested it, so that you don’t end up creating a duplicate.

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