Hello,
New to make I connected Aitable base to create new elements in a Webflow collection
In the airtable I have a option field with “A” and “B” choice and in Webflow I have an option field with “A” and “B” field. But when I Map the aitable field I get an error " Prohibited value in parameter ‘type-2’." in the scenario.
I check and there is no space in Airtable or in Webflow so value are identicals.
I am lost
Welcome to the Make community!
We’d love to help, however, you have not provided sufficient information to demonstrate the problem that would allow us to reproduce the scenario and any issue/s and/or error/s.
To allow others to assist you with your scenario, please provide the following:
We need to see what you’re working with to give you the best advice. It would help by having screenshots of:
You can upload images here using the Upload icon in the text editor:
We would appreciate it if you could upload screenshots here instead of linking to them outside of the forum. This allows us to zoom in on the image when clicked, and avoid tracking cookies from third-party websites.
Please export the scenario blueprint. Providing your scenario blueprint file will allow others to quickly recreate and see how you have set up the mappings in each module, and also allows us take screenshots or provide module exports of any solutions we have for you in return - this would greatly benefit you in implementing our suggestions as you can simply paste module exports back into your scenario editor!
To export your scenario blueprint, click the three dots at the bottom of the editor then choose ‘Export Blueprint’.
You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:
Please provide the output bundles of each of the relevant modules by running the scenario (you can also get this without re-running your scenario from the History tab).
Click on the white speech bubbles on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.
Save each bundle contents in a plain text editor (without formatting) as a bundle.txt file.
You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:
If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles.
Here are some ways to provide text content in a way that it won’t be modified by the forum.
Method 1: Type code fence manually —
Add three backticks ``` before and after the content/bundle, like this,
```
content goes here
```
Method 2: Highlight and click the format button in the editor —
Method 3: Upload your file and share the public link —
(this method is only recommended for large files exceeding the forum upload limit)
Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario, especially if there are complex data structures (nested arrays and collections) or if external services are involved, and help you with mapping the raw property names from collections.
Sharing these details will make it easier for others to assist you.
Hi @testhomer,
I would add a “Set Variable” module after airtable and observe how the data from Airtable is coming out. It may be something like {name: “A”} instead of just “A”.
Additionally please make sure that Webflow can take in “A” as an input for the field you’re looking to update. You can test this out by hardcoding “A” in the Webflow step and running that step individually.
Hope this helps! Please keep me updated and we can discuss further!
hello Trainward,
When I harcode the value in the webflow module it works fine…
Hello Samliew,
here is the blueprint
Integration Airtable, Webflow.blueprint.json (35.8 KB)
in addition here is the sceenshot of the get variable from make. It look like airtable send the value as the name of the variable and and empty value
thanks for your help
Do you also have other types of screenshots listed above? (full scenario, scenario run, etc.)
I came with a solution but it’s not elegant
I create a switch with case a and be and create two route so when it goes to the first route wher a is haredcoded in webflow module and the same for be.
but I really like to make the mapping works as this solution could be messy with a lot of choice : not just “a” and “b”
Welcome to the Make community!
To do this, you can use the built-in function:
{{ switch (expression; value1; result1; [value2; result2; ...]; [else]) }}The function may have also been covered in the Make Academy tutorials — refer to the Make Academy Course Overview for more info.
Here’s an example of how you can use the function:
{{switch(1.Type; "a"; "37eb90beec50bfb0131c1d1045933053"; "b"; "719e689fcf19f3fe929e1a0b7ac7e069")}}
(copy-paste the above into the field, or type it exactly as shown)
e.g.:
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues. P.S.: investing some effort into the tutorials in the Make Academy will save you lots of time and frustration using Make!

I don’t no how to thank you, I think I saw you on webflow forum too, and you have clever awnser too.
And I saw how to get the number too, so now I will be able to use this in my real use case.
Unfortunatly nobody nowhere explain how to do it… For people after me : to get the number that refer to the switch in Webflow : set the value to ‘a’ or whatever is you value in the webflow module, and the turn on the map switch : this will display the number associate to the switch in Webflow and just change the variable name for your case, and the numbers of course
Thanks a lot for this YOU SAVE MY DAY…
