The ubiquitous File not found image, explained:
This image will appear when IFTTT is set up to post an image or a file, but we don't get the data as expected.
Here's an example to illustrate further. The Applet below is configured to post a tweet with an image each time you add a Tumblr post. If this Applet is triggered by a Tumblr post without an image, the File not found image will be used.
If you're seeing this image often, we recommend switching to an action that is not expecting an image each time it runs, like Twitter - Post a tweet.
How to avoid the File not found image with filter code
You can skip an Applet's action when the File not found image is set to be used with the following filter code:
let imageURL = Tumblr.newAnyPost.PostImageUrl;
let noImage = 'no_image_card.png';
if ( imageURL.indexOf(noImage) !== -1 ) {
Twitter.postNewTweetWithImage.skip();
}
Note that this code is specific to the Tumblr > Twitter Applet mentioned above. If you'd like to use this filter code in your Applet, Tumblr.newAnyPost.PostImageUrl
and Twitter.postNewTweetWithImage.skip()
will need to be replaced with your trigger's ImageURL ingredient and your action's skip code, respectively.
