Airtable > Webflow Validation Error (Please help!)

Hello everyone, I really need your guys’ help finishing by Webflow API integration. I’m currently using Airtable, integromat, and Webflow for my workflow. I followed this really handy tutorial: https://youtu.be/CyhnDGQIXJQ. It goes as follows:

  1. (integromat) New Webflow CMS Items are created each time there is a new Record added in Airtable. Then the newly-created Webflow Item ID is placed in a column in Airtable:


2. (Parabola) Taking newly-updated Airtable Item ID’s and filling in missing fields to Webflow CMS Items.

When I attempt to run this code for any of my 7 CMS collection Flows, it will work if the item is a Reference Field, but receives an error message if the Webflow item is a Multi-Reference Field. Which is funny because I’ve had it work before, but now I’m receiving errors every single time. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Nonetheless, here’s my error message:

The weirdest part is that the Item ID’s are correct. Here is the data that’s being referenced in both Webflow and Airtable:



Please let me know what I’m doing wrong. I know it’s a lot, but I want to make sure that I’m giving you all as much information as I can. It’s so frustrating because I’m so close - I’m just not sure where I’m going wrong! Thank you!

Hi @Hunter_Reynolds! Have you tried using the Webflow Import/Export steps? If you search for Webflow in the sidebar, you should see both an import and export, which I think should help make this easier (looks like Aron’s Youtube tutorial is out of date).


If that doesn’t work, we can definitely help you debug further, so keep us posted!
