Struggling to map Notion to Make to Wordpress.
I eventually figured out that I have to add some text into text/content in the “Watch Database Items” when running the module.
Hi Tchai,
This happens because you are selecting “Run this module only”, and there is a mapped value in that module. So, Make asks you: What value do you wish to test?
“Run this module only” is used for testing normally.
I am not aware of any official documentation. Add any test you wish to test with, so you can test or troubleshoot the module as needed.
Yes, you can add anything because you’re testing. When you activate the scenario, the Content will take the value from the Notion module.
Thanks for your note, but I still dont get it
what needs to be added into these empty text boxes? It seems I can add anything - does that mean it is just testing the text?
I’m not sure of the purpose of these if the source is already connected.
actually disregard. ChatGPT answers as follows and now I get it
Why you have to add some placeholder text:
The boxes (like Title > Item 1, Body Text > Item 1) are part of a list structure, and Make.com needs at least one item in the array to initialize the data model. If the mapped field is empty at runtime and nothing is in the UI to “anchor” the mapping, it causes an error or the data doesn’t pass.
Why adding “any text” works:
When you manually add something (even dummy text), Make sees it as a valid structure. Then, your actual dynamic mapping (properties_value.Title[].text.content) will overwrite that placeholder during execution — but now it works because Make expects a list item there.
