Update Database List Field from Make to Bubble

How To
,
1

I am using Make to update a database in Bubble.

The database is “Blog Posts” and its fields are “Title” [text], “Blog Text” [text], “Image” [image] and “Tags” [list of text].

The first three fields update perfectly every time. I cannot figure out how to update the “Tags” [list of text] variable from Make to Bubble.

In the Bubble element in Make I have specified the Tags field as a List and tried different formats for the list:

“tag1”, “tag2”, “tag3”

[“tag1”, “tag2”, “tag3”]

The Tags database field in Bubble always updates as a single element list, “tag1, tag2, tag3”.

Is there a syntax to use in Make that will parse correctly (list of texts) in Bubble?

I supposed I could create a back-end workflow to parse the “Tags” [list of text] variable whenever it is updated, but it seems like there must be a simpler way…

Thank you in advance for your genius solution.

Welcome to the Make community!

Could you provide screenshots of your scenario, module fields so we can see how you’re mapping the variables?

1. Screenshots of module fields and filters

Please share screenshots of relevant module fields and filters in question? It would really help other community members to see what you’re looking at.

You can upload images here using the Upload icon in the text editor:

2. Scenario blueprint

Please export the scenario blueprint file to allow others to view the mappings and settings. At the bottom of the scenario editor, you can click on the three dots to find the Export Blueprint menu item.

(Note: Exporting your scenario will not include private information or keys to your connections)

Uploading it here will look like this:

3. And most importantly, Output bundles

Please provide the output bundles of the modules by running the scenario, then click the white speech bubble on the top-right of each module and select “Download output bundles”.

A.

Save the bundle contents in your text editor as a bundle.txt file, and upload it here into this discussion thread.

Uploading it here will look like this:

bundle.txt (12.3 KB)

B.

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted output bundle in this manner:

  • Either add three backticks ``` before and after the code, like this:

    ```
    input/output bundle content goes here
    ```

  • Or use the format code button in the editor:

Providing the output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario even if they do not use the external service.

Following these steps will allow others to assist you here. Thanks!
