I am very new at this, so please be kind and patient greatly appreciated.
PROBLEM:
I have a Glide app with a file upload feature that sends data to Make via webhook. My file column is set to “Multiple files” (since that’s the only file option available) and when the webhook sends data to Make, it formats the file as an array:
json
“file_field”: [“https://storage.googleapis.com/…”]
But my Make.com automation needs just the URL string:
“https://storage.googleapis.com/…”
QUESTION:
Is there a way to configure Glide to send a single file URL as a string instead of an array? Or is there a different approach for handling single file uploads in webhooks?
Any help would be appreciated!
I had the same issue in Make—some file fields come as arrays even if there’s only one file. I fixed it by adding a “Get variable” or “Set variable” module and using {{yourField[0]}} to extract just the first item. It works well if you’re sure it’s always a single file. Otherwise, use a map iterator to handle multiple gracefully.
