Unable to Match File Name and Data in Make Scenario

How To
1

I am encountering a problem in my Make scenario while trying to connect the file name and its corresponding binary data from OneDrive to DocCrafter (The same issue was with pdf.co). Although the “Download a File” module from OneDrive is correctly triggered and displays both File Name and Data, the values do not seem to map correctly when passed into the DocCrafter module.

Specifically:

  • The File Name is selected as 7. File Name
  • The Data is selected as 7. Data
  • But DocCrafter throws an error or fails to interpret the file correctly, suggesting that either the file content is not in a valid format or the data is not recognized as binary.

I suspect the mismatch may be due to:

  • Incorrect reference to the OneDrive module (e.g., should be referencing 5 instead of 7)
  • Binary data not being properly passed through or recognized
  • File encoding issues that DocCrafter cannot parse

Could you please help me verify the correct mapping and confirm if the file being downloaded from OneDrive is in the appropriate format (e.g., PDF, DOCX)? If there are specific formatting or data-type requirements on DocCrafter’s side, I would appreciate guidance on how to ensure compatibility.

Welcome to the Make community!

You cannot individually run a single module if you don’t have example values of the “Data”, which you must input into the prompt when you manually run a single module.

Try running the full scenario instead by clicking the “Run Once” button:
