Tumblr module not utilizing "Link" for the image click-through URL

Screenshot 2024-03-19 230626

The module and scenario is successfully posting the new Tumblr post. It’s using the proper image and caption. But it’s not using the “Link” field to be the click-through URL as the tooltip states.

The proper URL is being pulled from it’s original source, it just looks like it’s not being pushed into the Tumblr post properly.

Any ideas?

Hey, @travism
You put Array in URL, you should fetch the value of Array then it will work.
OR, the external link is not valid.

Pls share the json of the module, from which you are fetching the URL.

Thanks

I’m not a pro at this stuff so I may be getting confused with some of the terminology, but the image URL is working and it’s uploading the image properly. It’s the “Link” > “11. Link” that isn’t applying a click-through link properly to the photo itself.

The “11. Link” shows as a “text” value in AirTable.

I’ve even tried taking the output from that, the literal URL, and just pasting that in place on a test. It still didn’t successfully take the URL and apply it to the photo as the click-through link.

What I assume you’re talking about though is that the “External URL” value is an array and that could be causing an issue?

[
    {
        "url": "https://genericwebsiteurl.com/about-us",
        "type": "photo",
        "blogId": "tumblrblogid",
        "source": "https://imageurlpicture.com/picture.jpg",
        "caption": "Post title caption march update 2024",
        "audioType": "url"
    }
]

I believe this may be the JSON that you’re looking for? This is the input from the module that’s going into Tumblr module and feeding it the data.

Sorry if I’m mixing things up and make it more confusing!

Which module are you using?

Based on the fields you shared, it looks like this Tumblr integration is using the Tumblr’s legacy create a post endpoint.

However it doesn’t match the specification exactly.

The modules in the scenario currently go from WordPress to Router to Tumblr.

On the Tumblr module for “Link” I’m choosing the “Link” value from WordPress, which shows as <url> Raw: link and the output is just simply the text URL from the webpage.
