CMS multi-reference Zapier Integration via API ID

Design help Data API
1

Hi Guys!

I need some help!

I recently figured out how to use the ID of a given CMS reference-item with Zapier to create a new CMS-item that contains to chosen reference-item.

However, i am running into issues when multiple-ID’s are given (as result of the dropdown feature in a webflow-form with select more on). Zapier or webflow is unable to read the ID’s and gives me an error. I am however, under the impression that working with multi-reference fields is possible.

Has anyone pulled this off?

It would be greatly appriciated! :slight_smile:

It is possible via the API, but I think Zapier has limited support for arrays in records.

Yeah, I have same problem. Would be good to hear what can be done :slight_smile:

From my expierence I had no luck doing it with API ID’s for multi reference fields, It works when one ID is given, but gives an error when more ID’s are given.

Anyone have an update here? I’m struggling to get the API to accept my updates to the multi-reference field. Have tried sending IDs as string and array …

TTT.

Anyone figure this out? Have posted in Zapier community boards also.

This is the best walkthrough I’ve seen, Webflow Multi-Reference Fields with Integromat + Zapier - YouTube.

It shows how to do it using either Integromat or Zapier.

Thanks to @rileyrichter for putting this together!

I don’t know if this is still current, but there is a simple way to fix this in Make.com.
Place two Webflow modules in a row. Connect the first one with your Webflow CMS of choice. This one contains the Multi-reference field.
Connect the second module with the CMS that contains the content for this multi-reference field.
In this case, I placed a Google Sheet module at the end of the two. This one collects all the info from the first module and the second module.

There is also a parser in the middle to get rid of the HTML tags that are generated by the Rich Text Field in the first CMS.

Hi @HGWeb,
would you mind giving me some more details about your integration? I’m afraid I don’t understand yet, what you are exactly doing in these steps.
I have a simuilar issue, where I want to use the trigger on Airtable and send the newly created/updated data to Webflow CMS. Some fields contain mulitiple references, as my Webflow CMS is build that way.
