Text Aggregator not iterating over multiple items in aggregated array

How To
1

OBJECTIVE OF THE FLOW

Build a scenario in Make that detects customer interests (Desired Cars), searches for matches in available cars (Cars for Sale), consolidates all found matches (1 or multiple), and sends a single email with the full list of matches formatted as a table inside the email.

COMPLETE FLOW MAP (with problem summary)

  1. Watch Records [1]:
  • Table: Autos Deseados
  • Trigger field: Última Modificación DESEO
  • Max Records: 10 (or 1 for testing)
  • WORKS WELL
  1. Search Records [2]:
  • Table: Autos en Venta
  • Matching formula: Marca + Modelo (LOWER(TRIM())…)
  • WORKS WELL
  1. Array Aggregator [3]:
  • Source: Search Records [2]
  • Aggregates all relevant fields
  • WORKS WELL: If Search Records returns 3 cars, Array Aggregator correctly contains the 3 cars inside its array.
  1. Text Aggregator [4] (Where the problem appears):
  • Feeder: Array Aggregator [3]
  • Row Separator: New row (\n)
  • Mapping: Attempted using {{3.array.Field}}
  • PROBLEM: Even though the array contains the 3 cars, Text Aggregator only takes the first element (the first bundle). It does not iterate over the rest, leaving out the remaining matches.
  1. Gmail / SMTP Send Email [5]:
  • Receives the HTML block generated by Text Aggregator
  • Sends the email correctly
  • BUT: The email contains a table, but only with the first found car. The other matches do not appear.

EXAMPLE OF THE ERROR:

Suppose Search Records returns 3 cars:

  • Toyota Corolla 2009
  • Toyota Corolla 2010
  • Toyota Corolla 2021

The email includes only:

ID Auto: V0021

Marca: TOYOTA

Modelo: COROLLA

Año: 2009

The other two cars are missing.

Welcome to the Make community!

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. It would help by having screenshots of:

  • the full scenario,
  • any error messages,
  • individual module fields,
  • relevant filter settings (conditions), and
  • module output bundles
  • external services (spreadsheet headers, sample data, 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 ``` before and after the content/bundle, like this,

    ```
    content goes here
    ```

  • Method 2: Highlight and click the format 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.

Hey Kristian,

you don’t aggregate an aggregator. Remove the Array Aggregator and change the source module of the Text Aggregator to the Search module, then map the correct data inside from the Search module.
