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](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:

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should see both an import and export, which I think should help make this easier (looks like Aron’s Youtube tutorial is out of date).

 ![Screenshot 2020-06-23 09.52.56](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/parabola/original/1X/997f90497efa22e41ade56d7fe785f857d765313.png)  
If that doesn’t work, we can definitely help you debug further, so keep us posted!
