I’m stuck on an issue I haven’t been able to solve despite several attempts. I’m trying to automatically save responses from a Tally form into a Notion database using a Make scenario.
In Tally, I have a multiple-choice question. The response comes through as a simple array of strings (["Forceps", "Ventouse"]). In Notion, the corresponding field is a multi_select property.
I understand that Notion expects the data to be formatted like this:
[
{ "name": "Forceps" },
{ "name": "Ventouse" }
]
I’ve tried several ways in Make to convert the array from Tally into the required object array format for Notion, but none of them worked. I keep getting an error during the database creation step, saying the Instrumentation property is expected to be of type multi_select.
I’ve attached screenshots showing:
the JSON structure received from Tally with the Instrumentation field,
the configuration of the Notion module in Make with the relevant mapping,
Unfortunately, I tried passing the simple array directly into the Notion module (Create a database item), and it doesn’t work in my case. I still get the error saying the field must be of type multi_select.
Just to clarify: I mocked the first module using a Parse JSON module to simulate the response from a Tally form submission, so the array structure should be identical to a real Tally response.
Here are a couple of screenshots showing:
the raw array I’m sending to Notion,
and the error returned by Make during execution.
If you have any idea how to properly format it to match Notion’s expectations, I’d love your help!
Appreciate all the details - one thing I would try before troubleshooting further: can you refresh the “Create database item” module (from the three dots at the top right in the module configuration) and try again?
Thanks a lot, itThanks a thousand times Simo That did the trick! Refreshing the “Create database item” module worked perfectly. Really appreciate your help!worked
