Create categories in custom taxonomies Wordpress

I have a Make.com scenario to read a Google sheet & create multiple categories in Wordpress. This works Ok, but only for the default Posts taxonomy. However, I have a custom taxonomy called Recipes.

How can I do this? Do I use the Metadata (custom fields)? If so, what’s the correct naming standard?

Unfortunately, this module does not allow you to select the post type. You cannot use custom fields for this.

If the external service has a Developer API Reference/Documentation then you should be able to manually call the same endpoint in Make using the app’s universal module (Make an API Call) module.

You can also suggest for it to be made in the Idea exchange. Don’t forget to search for it first, just in case someone already suggested it, so that you don’t end up creating a duplicate.

If you need assistance in setting up the app’s universal module, or the built-in generic HTTP modules, please provide additional information about what you have tried in relation to the external service’s Developer API Reference — how you are setting the connection up, a link to the endpoint are you trying to connect to, and what errors you are encountering.

You can also complete this brand new course/tutorial in the Make Academy on how to use external APIs — API calls with HTTP modules

  • API and Endpoints
  • Header and body
  • Multipart/form-data
  • OAuth 2.0

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
