Problems with Make Academy case scenario template link - Using get() and map() functions

I’m doing the Intermediate Make Academy module and am stuck on Use Case Scenario - part 1 for Using get() and map() functions. When I click on “this template” Chrome btries to open a new page logged into Make. It comes up with Access Denied and a 404 error

  • I closed all tabs of Make,
  • I restarted my Mac
  • I cleared my cache
  • I logged into the platform first
  • I logged in second
  • I am able to access the platform and Create scenarios. I just can’t open the template or copy and paste the JSON data from the Academy page to the platform.
  • It did work in other modules

Welcome to the Make community!

The “this template” link assumes your organisation is in eu1, and in your case it’s likely you’re in another server:

https://eu1.make.com/templates/10719?templatePublicId=10719

1.

To fix this, change eu1 to the server your organisation is in (e.g.: eu2 or us1)

2.

Alternatively, you can use the first method - Click the “Copy this JSON”, then paste into the “Parse JSON” module.

3.

Alternatively, you can copy this and directly paste into the scenario editor:

I’ve also made the blueprint for you, you can import it into a new scenario:

blueprint.json (2.9 KB)


This isn’t really a bug, but a limitation of the Make Academy software, because it can’t know which server your organisation is hosted in.

Thanks Sam,
That’s really helpful. I did say in the post that I tried to copy and paste and that didn’t work either.
What I didn’t say in the things I’d tried is that I opened templates on the platform and then cut and pasted the id’s at the end of the link to the end. This still gave me the same outcome. I did notice the eu1 and eu2 differences.
Thanks again for bailing me out. I’m really enjoying the courses and was at a loss on how to continue.
Cheers
Rob
