Hi, I think I’ve found a bug.

In the subflow in the pipeline below, I’ve specified the attribute and attribute value and I’m still getting the entire page of source code back:

[https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?workbook\_id=evGeMsfC1gVefQr6jy5swW&tab=1](https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?workbook_id=evGeMsfC1gVefQr6jy5swW&tab=1)

Looking at the input to the AI node, I’m seeing etc. (meaning it gets the whole page) instead of \<div id=“main-content”) (just a portion of a page).

Any ideas?

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.

Yeah this seems to be a bug on our end, sorry about that! I’ve created a ticket to investigate this further.
