Sending Multiple Photos to Webhooks Only Works for First Photo

Hi everyone, kindly help me solve the automation I'm trying to make.


Essentially I'm trying to create an Apple Shortcut that finds all photos within an album and sends them to a webhook. The webhook, through a third-party low-code provider, uploads the photos to a Cloud Storage provider, and then delete the above photos (so that the same photos won't be re-uploaded in the future).


The low-code provider works as intended by uploading the photo to the cloud. However, the Apple Shortcut has an issue, namely it only sends the first image on the album to the webhook. For example, if the Find Photos action finds 5 photos, then, by using Repeat action, the webhook sends the first photo 5 times instead of sending 5 photos in 5 webhooks.


The problem seems to have stemmed with the way the webhook handles multiple photos. When I change the webhook with Send Message action, Apple Messages successfully sends those multiple photos.

I have looked into this issue and found that the issue has been present since 2018. However, no answer has been given yet. If you have experience working with Apple Shortcut, please help as this would improve others who have the same problem.

Thanks for your help!

Hi SravanKrA,


Thanks for your reply. I have done as you suggest but the issue remains.


Trial 1) - Select Photos after Find Photo

The issue remains and only the first image is uploaded


Trial 2) - Copy and Paste results from Select Photo (I also try Get Latest Photos with the same result)

The issue remains and only the first image is uploaded


Trial 3) - CloudApp

I signed up for the Free version of CloudApp but somehow I am unable to login to the CloudApp Shortcut with the following error:


.com.linebreak.-CloudApp.Engine error -1.


Were you able to do the objective I seek with the solutions you suggest? If so, do you mind sharing so that I can see where I do wrong?


Thanks,


Anthony.
