Hello,
I’m trying to set up a system where new blog posts from my Webflow CMS collection are automatically sent as messages to my Telegram channel. I’m using rich text element for the content.
I’m currently using the iterator and array aggregator to bundle the data for sending the message. However, the output I’m getting is like this:
Here’s how I have the iterator and aggregator configured:
Can anyone advise on the correct settings for the iterator and aggregator? Or, should I use a different approach to achieve this?
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
You should probably be using a Text Aggregator, because you want to send TEXT, not an ARRAY of collections.
Every result (item/record) from a search/match module will output a bundle. To “combine” them into a single structure, you’ll need to use an aggregator of some sort.
Aggregators are modules that accumulate multiple bundles into one single bundle. An example of a commonly-used aggregator module is the Array aggregator module. The next popular aggregator is the Text Aggregator which is very flexible and has applies to many use-cases.
There are other types of aggregator modules, click the below links to find out more:

The Array Aggregator module allows you to build a complex array of collections for a later module’s field to map multiple items (collections) to it.
Here is an example of using the “Target structure type” of an Array Aggregator module:
As you can see, the “Map” toggle on fields are used when you have an array. You can easily build an array variable to map to a field, by using an Array Aggregator module and select the “Target Structure Type” as the future field you want to map the array into.

Hey @samliew
Thanks so much for your explanation! Switching to Text Aggregator fixed the problem.
