Why is even the simples of things so complicated in this platform? I have a setup where im iterating over a media object array then split their flow in different routes based on source, append the media url, recombine then send to main route using magic router trick. Now in ai-video route i need to poll for video generation, im making use of error-repeater trick to mock a do-while loop but now i cant access data from that error route. I’m aware of magic routers but i cant do that because the number of sets is dynamic. What do i do
Please provide more details. Currently the text in your screenshot is unreadable. Try to zoom in on modules before taking screenshots, and crop your screenshots to specific modules and output bundles.
We’d love to help, however, you have not provided sufficient information to demonstrate the problem that would allow us to reproduce the scenario and any issue/s and/or error/s.
To allow others to assist you with your scenario, please provide the following:
1. All Relevant Screenshots
We need to see what you’re working with to give you the best advice. Screenshots are extremely important because Make is a visual editor — a picture provides us with more context.
It would help us identify the issue by having screenshots of:
- the full scenario,
- the zoomed in section of the scenario that you are referring to (if your scenario is huge),
- a full scenario run/execution (showing output “speech” bubbles),
- any error messages,
- individual module fields,
- relevant filter settings (conditions), and
- each module’s output bundles
- any external services (spreadsheet headers, sample data, regex101.com, etc.)
You can upload images here using the Upload icon in the text editor:
We would appreciate it if you could upload screenshots here instead of linking to them outside of the forum. This allows us to zoom in on the image when clicked, and avoid tracking cookies from third-party websites.
2. Scenario Blueprint
Please export the scenario blueprint. Providing your scenario blueprint file will allow others to quickly recreate and see how you have set up the mappings in each module, and also allows us take screenshots or provide module exports of any solutions we have for you in return - this would greatly benefit you in implementing our suggestions as you can simply paste module exports back into your scenario editor!
To export your scenario blueprint, click the three dots at the bottom of the editor then choose ‘Export Blueprint’.
You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:
3. Module Output Bundles
Please provide the output bundles of each of the relevant modules by running the scenario (you can also get this without re-running your scenario from the History tab).
Click on the white speech bubbles on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.
A. Upload as a Text File
Save each bundle contents in a plain text editor (without formatting) as a bundle.txt file.
You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:
B. Insert as Formatted Code Block
If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles.
Here are some ways to provide text content in a way that it won’t be modified by the forum.
-
Method 1: Type code fence manually —
Add three backticks```in a separate line before and after the content, like this,``` text goes here ``` -
Method 2: Highlight and click the “preformatted text” button in the editor —
-
Method 3: Upload your file and share the public link —
(this method is only recommended for large files exceeding the forum upload limit)
Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario, especially if there are complex data structures (nested arrays and collections) or if external services are involved, and help you with mapping the raw property names from collections.
Sharing these details will make it easier for others to assist you.
Hello,
As @samliew mentioned - we need more details.
Assuning whre your problem is. If you just need to count the number of bundles, use Increment Function and store the value to a variable.

will this setup work? i need to be cautious before trying since im using someone else’s credentials. The section highlighted in yellow is the one im having issues with. I need to poll and download video then upload that video to google cloud then append that cloud url to my media json. I need to combine alk the media objects flowing into the bottom-mos branch into an array and send it to my main route (reconnect hub). In the other routes i could easily do this using an aggregator with ‘forEach meta_media’ module as source but in the bottom ai-video route, since the data i need is flowing into an error route, i cant use an aggregator there. I cant use a single multiset magic router to send data out of error route because the number of media objects are variable. Ive brainstromed this setup which i doubt will work where im setting and getting media.name in ‘store json’ and ‘retrieve json’ modules respectively. hoping to collect there somehow
This was my original setup:
If I understand correctly, you’re trying to pass variables from an error route into the main route and aggregate the resulting JSON variables. Is that right?
yes, thats what im trying to achieve
I would suggest to check if the external service is able to trigger a webhook when the video generation is complete, so you can avoid polling.
Then, you can get a second scenario to store the result in a data store, and trigger a third scenario to get all the results from the data store to combine them.
