Hello everyone, I'm sorry if this is not the proper place to post this, actually I dont know who or where I could get help from. And sorry for my English.

I'm very new to this world so I will try to explain my problem as clear as I can.

I even set up a test table so you can see it easily. First of all, I would like my clients to fill up a form like this:

 

Then, I would like this data to be sent to my Airtable and create a new record in the column "Chosen Colection" with the chosen colection they selected in the form. The column 'collection' is linked to a price from another board, which I'll show you in the following images:

Then I made a conection in Make.com to send this data, like this:

Then it shows me an error like this:

I'm stuck on this step and I dont know how to set it up. Please help 😞

In your Make scenario, where it says "Chosen Collection", you have to turn ON the "Map" button, which will enable you to to paste in your array of collections there.

I talk more about Make arrays in this podcast episode:

Hello Scott, thank you for your fast reply.

I already turned on the map button but still get the same error. Could you explain what do you mean by paste in my array of collections there? I'm very new on this 😞

Thank you so much

A few things here:

1. When a field name ends in [], that means you are pasting in an array of data (instead of just one piece of data). Make sure that you are pasting in a simple array, not a complex array. I would check out my YouTube video above, which may give you some guidance on this!

2. From the error message you are receiving, it sounds like you are pasting in a complex array instead of a simple array. Check out my YouTube video above.

3. Also, very important: Be sure to turn on "Smart Links" at the bottom of the "Create A Record" module. Otherwise, you can only paste in pre-existing values into the linked record field.

4. For general Make training, I give some additional training resources in this thread.
