Issue Mapping Custom Taxonomy from Notion to Wordpress

[Andrew_Durand]

Is it possible to map custom taxonomies from Notion → Wordpress using notion’s multiselect property, while also CLEARING any existing taxonomies in wordpress?

Hello all, I am trying to build something rather simple (I think, see image below) where I update my blog posts via notion and map the custom taxonomies in Wordpress using a Notion multiselect field.

I have gotten it to work, but the issue is that the custom taxonomies are populated additively instead of being a direct override. For instance, if I have a post with taxonomy A, but then in Notion I decide to remove taxonomy A and replace with B, the automation will simply add B in Wordpress, but not remove A.

Is there something that I am missing here? Thanks for your help!

Hi Andrew,
What if you activate the “Map” option in “Values” instead of adding “Item 1” manually? Does that work?

Thanks for the reply, Simo

No it didn’t work unfortunately. Even if I map the values, the original values do not get overwritten in Wordpress

You can see from my webhook that there are only 2 string values being sent, but then in WP module there are still three strings being outputed.

I should mention that I am trying to map to a custom taxonomy made in Wordpress using ACF. In case that makes a difference.

I am not sure about this and would need to do more research. Another thing that comes to mind: if you pass {{emptyarray}} to “Values”, is the output empty or does it still contain the tags?

[Andrew_Durand]

It still outputs the tags that were originally in the WP post, even if I map an empty array. Are you able to look into this a bit more?

Thanks so much!

Another thing to try: use {{null}} and see if the output is empty
