Make.com Webflow CMS reference fields corresponding to “Reference fields displayed with the Webflow ID

Design help Webflow integrations

I am using Make.com for transferring CMS data from Airtable to Webflow. An issue I am having is that the CMS fields corresponding to “Reference fields” are being displayed with the Webflow ID instead of the corresponding text in the CMS item list.
For example CMS field location is a reference field in providers which shows up as the Webflow ID instead of Seattle, New York etc
Steps followed:

  1. Make.com - Created + launched locations scenario which creates/updated location in webflow CMS from Airtable
  2. Airtable - Created a lookup field in Provides table which looks up locations->webflow ID
  3. Make.com - Created + launched Providers scenario which creates/updated providers in webflow CMS. Using webhooks, publish site (see attached screen shot)
  • Ensured location selected is Webflow ID (from location)
  • Everything works except this issue. Anyon else encountered this?

Those ID’s are your reference, you need those.

If you’re trying to translate your multiref field content from e.g. slugs to ID’s before an update, you’ll have to do that yourself either through a lookup table or additional API calls.

This is why products like power importer pro and whalesync exist, syncing has a lot of challenges that require infrastructure.
