I’m working with an automation scenario in Make where I need to pass text data from an array of collections as input to an OpenAI module. Each collection in the array contains a `text` field, and my goal is to send all these `text` fields as a combined input. However, when I try mapping the array of collections directly into the OpenAI module, it only includes the first collection’s `text`, leaving out the rest. I’m looking for a solution that allows me to pass all the `text` fields from each collection in the array as a single, unified input to the OpenAI module. What I’ve Tried: Using the `Join()` function to concatenate all `text` elements from the array, but I’m having issues with getting the correct syntax or structure for it to work as expected. Attempting various mapping methods, but they either only take the first `text` field or don’t map correctly to the input. How can I make sure that all the `text` fields from the array are combined and passed as one single input to the OpenAI module? What is the correct way to use `Join()` or another function to achieve this? Any guidance or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help!!

Welcome to the Make community! You can use the built-in functions `map` and `join` e.g.: ```plaintext {{ join(map(55.array; text); " ") }} ``` For more information, see the function documentation in the [Help Center](https://www.make.com/en/help), and do the Make Academy. Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules.
