SurveyMonkey headaches - nested comments to map

Hi everyone,

I’m new to Make.com, but I’ve already worked through several advanced tutorials. For the past two days I’ve been trying (unsuccessfully!) to complete what looked like a simple scenario, so I’m hoping someone can point out what I’m missing.

Goal

I have a SurveyMonkey survey with two questions:

  1. Question 1 – four multiple-choice options plus an optional comment field
  2. Question 2 – four multiple-choice options

I want each response written to a Google Sheet with three columns:

A B C
Main answer to Q1 Comment on Q1 Answer to Q2

What I’ve set up in Make

  1. SurveyMonkey → Make an API call – pulls all survey responses.
  2. Iterator – splits the array; the output bundle shows every answer and the comment.
  3. SurveyMonkey → Get a response – confirms the same data.
  4. Google Sheets → Add a row – maps the fields into columns A, B, C.

Problem

I can map and write the main answers for Q1 (column A) and Q2 (column C) without issues, but column B (the Q1 comment) always comes through blank, even though I can see it in the previous module’s output bundle.

Question

What common mistake might prevent that comment field from appearing in Google Sheets, and how can I fix it? Any guidance would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Guillaume_Besson,

I think you need to include indexes in the datapill. I’ve marked where in Red.

You need to iterate on pages potentially. To get the values on the first page you can input a “0” in the first rectangle.

Hope this helps!
