/MAKING API CALLS WITH ZAPIER TO AUTOMATE MEDIA SLIDER

Use Zapier Formatter to extract image URLs

What we're doing:

In this lesson, we’ll be using Zapier’s Formatter tool to break down the list of image links into individual URLs. This list of links was previously returned after uploading images to Duda's CDN. By parsing the list, we’ll extract each image link separately for easier mapping in future steps.

Why we're doing it:

The images from the previous step are grouped in a single object, but we need to work with each image individually for updates. By using Zapier’s Formatter, we can split the list into separate text strings, allowing us to map and use each image URL in subsequent actions.

How we're going to do it:

We’ll add a Formatter step in Zapier, select the Line-item to Text utility, and use the comma delimiter to split the image links. Once tested, this will give us three individual image links, which will be ready to use when updating the image collection in the next step of our automation.
