How is the rich text being ‘sent’?

Check out the guide

Looks like the rich text field in Zoho returns the text as this,

If I understand the problem, it seems like the issue is that ZoHo is sending html, and Fibery is expecting markdown

Yeah is there anyway work around for this?

I’m not a zoho or zapier expert, so I’m not sure.

What are the API call(s) you are using? Can you show the code here?

{
“command”: “create-or-update-documents”,
“args”: [
{
“secret”: “xxxxxxxxx”, //secret of specific description field
“content”: “xxxxx” // this would be the variable that stores the rich text from zoho
}
]
}

Did you try using format=html in the request URL?

I tried that and it worked for normal text now, but if i add in rich text items in Zoho, it will send back for instance <ul> and <ol> for bulleted list which will cause nothing to be shown on fibery side

That doesn’t sound right :thinking:
Did you verify that the content being sent is valid HTML?

I think you will need to engage Fibery Support for help with this issue, since only they can see what data has been passed to Fibery :worried:
