Hello, I’m trying to plug my newsletter provider (mailchimp) to fibery through integromat. Subscribers have a somewhat flat data structure that I can easily map to my “Contact” fields in fibery. However, they also have tags, which I need to sync too : tags are provided as an array of objects for each subscriber. Is there a fibery / integromat specialist here that could help me? I’m not sure that “single select” or “multiple select” fields, that seem like a decent way to store tags, can be populated through integromat (every time I try I get an error). I tried using the Join function in integromat, but I would need to join on a subproperty of each object in the array, so it doesn’t work. I tried to plug in an iterator but then I get an entry for each unique subscriber / tag. ---

I’m not an Integromat expert, but I suspect the issue is that single-select and multi-selects are actually types themselves, under the hood. So it is possible to use Integromat to assign a value for a single-/multi-select field, but that value needs to already exist (as an entity of the single-/multi-select type). I am not aware that you can use Integromat to create new entities of the (hidden) single-/multi-select types, so I think you have to either: - manually create in Fibery all the tags that might be needed - define a standard Fibery type for tags (not a single-/multi-select) and then create the tags in Integromat as needed, prior to creating the subscribers and updating them to link to the tags. ---

Could possibly send to a text field, and then create a rule to parse the text field into the Multi-Select field using the API… I’m trying to do just that, but am having trouble reading the API as I’m not an expert with javascript much less integromat’s api. ---

I think this conversation could use a revisit. The Make modules for Fibery could use some tweaking here. What I’ve tested is using the module to assigned two values to a multi-select field → this goes well. However, when changing this field type to “Map” meaning, that I supply the ID’s for the values I receive an error no matter how the array of data is formatted. I believe this is because of the way Integromat formats inputs to preserve strings behind the scenes. The Fibery Module is setup to receive a Fibery UUID, or array of UUIDs for multi-select/relationship fields. However, when you map values into this field, Integromat by default interprets your input as a string. Here is the error I received: > The operation failed with an error. [500] “XXXXX”,“XXXXXX” is an instance of java.lang.String type but should be an instance of fibery/uuid type. Cause: Invalid uuid “XXXX”,“XXXX”. For similar fields in integrations for ClickUp and Airtable, we can type in a comma-delimited string (without quotes) into a multi-select field and there is no error. This is why I think the Fibery modules require adjusting ---

@Chr1sG do you know if there have been any updates to the Make modules?
