Hello!
I want to skip modules based on filters. In the last instance, I want to attach the PDFs made with each Ilovepdf module to the Gmail module. I think I need to use Iterator/Array aggregator, but I don’t know how to use it.
Thanks!
Skipping modules is not a possibility (but there are some feature requests: https://www.make.com/en/platform-ideas/?search=skip)
The best solution is to use a router and set a filter for each path.
Cheers,
Henk
I’ve tried to add a router and set filters, but when I am at the last module/Gmail module it doesn’t show me all the Ilovepdf modules that I need to attach to the mail.
Variables is what you need.
To check if a file exists you use a router and add a filter for each file. If the file exists you save it to a variable e.g. file1, file2, etc. Maybe look at the “Tools” module to get an idea what you can do with vars.
You do that for each leg of the router and when you continue with the flow (make sure that all the filter paths are above the “main” route!) you fetch all the saved files using the get multiple vars module.
After that you can combine them into an array for further processing.
Give that a try and go from there.
All the best
David

P.S.: Did you know, the concepts of about 70% of questions asked on this forum are already covered in the Make Academy. Investing some effort into it will save you lots of time and frustration using Make later!
