I have a scenarion in which links from my business chats are categorized by chat GPT and the last step is to write the whole thing to Notion db. Basically I have 3 columns on my db: Link (text), Short description (text), Tags (multiselect).

The problem is that every time I’m getting an error The operation failed with an error. [400] Tags is expected to be multi\_select.

I tried to make tags an array, tried split but still unable to solve this.

P.S. I’m not good at coding at all, just want to make a usefull instrument for my job (financial & business analyst).

How are you trying to add tags to the “Tags” property? Could you share a screenshot of what the field in the Notion module in the scenario looks like?

As I understand from Notion guide ([Database properties](https://developers.notion.com/reference/property-object)) multi-select is a bit tricky property - have no idea how to transform it like this
