Unsure How to Extract Data from an Array

Hello,

I'm new to this platform and I'm attempting to connect a module from an AI time-tracking application called Timely, which has a callin.io module, to an Airtable base I've set up.

I'm trying to determine how to extract data from an array that I believe contains one or two text strings I want to isolate and place into a specific Airtable field.

Should I use the iterator for this purpose? For instance, would the sequence be: Timely App -> Iterator -> Airtable module?

This is what I've done, essentially placing the array data into the Iterator module –

But I'm unsure of the next steps to retrieve that data. Can anyone offer some assistance?

Hi. First, utilize an iterate module and map the array using the map function.


Thanks, Helio!

Hi,

Thanks for the response! So are you suggesting:

Timely > Iterator > Set Variable/Map Array > Airtable

or

Timely > Set Variable/Map Array > Iterator > Airtable?

Thanks a lot!

You need to map the precise array you require. If iteration is necessary after Timely, allow it and map it following that iteration.

Thanks!

I apologize, but I'm still unclear on your request. I'm attempting to map an array, but my goal is to extract specific data from within that array and direct it to its intended destination.
