Error with Combine Text + Filter Node

[AangelHD]

Gummie said the following:

The Combine Text node needs a format parameter to properly format single inputs. Let's fix that:

1. In the Combine Text node (mmkR6jf8AWNJwCqV4pDtUR), set the format parameter to:

ERROR: Found invalid product name: {input1}


This tells the node to format just input1 without requiring input2. You only need to connect the Filter's output to input1, and it will format each invalid product name with the error message.

It is hard to see what it wrote so I’ll repeat it here:
“You only need to connect the Filter’s output to input1, and it will format each invalid product name with the error message.”

But this is untrue. I got an error and could not run the flow until I added input2 to the Format field.

In other words, this did not work:
Warning: Found invalid product name: {input1}

but this did:
Warning: Found invalid product name: {input1}{input2}

Hey @AangelHD! If you’re reporting an issue with a flow or an error in a run, please include the run link and make sure it’s shareable so we can take a look.

1. Find your run link on the history page. Format: https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?run_id={your_run_id}&workbook_id={workbook_id}

2. Make it shareable by clicking “Share” → ‘Anyone with the link can view’ in the top-left corner of the flow screen.
   

3. Provide details about the issue—more context helps us troubleshoot faster.

You can find your run history here: https://www.gumloop.com/history

Hey @AangelHD - You should be able to run the Combine Text node even with just a single input, here’s an example: https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?workbook_id=ep3ipFUrtzQydPTCiP7yVP&run_id=X7D3o4mSkVhFMvDQ8ehs4x

Can you share the run link where that failed? REF:

But this is untrue. I got an error and could not run the flow until I added input2 to the Format field.

As for the error in the run link you shared, that’s unrelated to this – it failed because no condition is set in the filter node;

Also, renamed this topic for clarity

Hi, Wasay. Well, I’ve changed the flow since I posted the question. I see now that when I post a question I should duplicate the flow and continue work in the new one.

The old flow is gone and I am seeing another error. Let’s close this one. I’ll post the current error and if I keep working on the flow I will dup it first.

Thanks for your reply.

Got it and no problem!
