Airtable and Webflow CMS sync - Fields corresponding to “Reference fields” are displayed with the ID instead of the corresponding text in the CMS item list

I created Make scenarios to synchronize data from Airtable to Webflow CMS.

An issue I am having is that the CMS fields corresponding to “Reference fields” are being displayed with the Webflow ID instead of the corresponding text in the CMS item list.

For example, CMS field location is a reference field in providers which shows up as the Webflow ID instead of Seattle, San Jose etc

Steps followed:

  1. Make.com - Created + launched locations scenario which creates/updates locations in webflow CMS from Airtable. This works fine
  2. Airtable - Created a lookup field in Provides table which looks up locations webflow ID
  3. Make.com - Created + launched Providers scenario which creates/updated providers in webflow CMS. Ensured location is selected is Webflow ID (from location)

Everything works expect this. Is anyone else encountering this and knows how to resolve?

Hi!

In this case, you need to use the switch() function so that you can be able to get the expected output and be synced over to Webflow.
