I can’t get this to run

Hey @Richard! 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” 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

[Richard]

yes, have shared the link

Hey @Richard - You seem to be passing text inputs from your CSV into the File input of the PDF Reader node. The File input needs to be a valid PDF file.

Hi Wasya, thanks for getting back to me.
I’m not sure I’ve got the “flow” right then. (The Mech Specification is a PDF?)
In a “flow” we are trying to read a pdf mechanical specification, and search for assets listed in the specification, and then give us a list of all the assets that match the assets in the CSV file.
Hoping this makes sense

[Richard]

i.e. can you search the mechanical specification for these 3x things:
1 “Single and multi-zone air handling units”
2. “Operating theatre air handling systems”
3. “Ducted fan coil units”
And then extract a list of any of the 3 assets above, or hopefully it finds all 3 asset above.

I see but you still need to pass the PDF file for that. The CSV just outputs text/string which is =/= file.

Here’s a guided tutorial that will help: https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?workbook_id=oSHnXmMiS4dVBc1L4CmLjk&tutorial=true&guided_tutorial_id=document_processing

Thanks Wasay. Do you have a “similar” template or “flow” that might work for this diagram above?

[Wasay-Gumloop]

The guided tutorial above would be a great place to start. We also have a few document processing templates you can use for inspiration: https://www.gumloop.com/templates

I’m missing a step, based on what i’m trying to do, any thoughts to get it to run?

You need to join the List output of the CSV Reader node: https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?workbook_id=vgWfo2XgtXbG3VCV747e56
