Are there any known reasons why I would be receiving a "ValidationError: Validation Failure" when trying to update a multi-reference field in Zapier using Webflow?
If you are receiving a "ValidationError: Validation Failure" when trying to update a multi-reference field in Zapier using Webflow, there are a few possible reasons for this error:
Inconsistent data types: Make sure that the data you are sending from Zapier to Webflow matches the data type expected by the multi-reference field. For example, if the multi-reference field expects an array of IDs, make sure you are passing an array of valid IDs and not a different data type.
Invalid or non-existent references: If you are updating the multi-reference field with new or existing references, ensure that these references are valid and exist in the collection. Double-check that the IDs you are passing actually correspond to valid items in the referenced collection.
Field permissions: Check the permissions of the multi-reference field in Webflow to ensure that it is set up correctly. If the field is read-only or doesn't allow updates from external sources like Zapier, you may encounter this validation error.
Zapier integration settings: Review your Zapier configuration for the Webflow integration. Ensure that you have the appropriate scope and permissions set to update multi-reference fields. Verify that you have selected the correct Webflow project and collection for the update action.
To troubleshoot and resolve this issue, follow these steps:
Confirm the data type expected by the multi-reference field and ensure that you are passing the correct data type in Zapier.
Check the validity of the references you are updating the multi-reference field with.
Review the field permissions in Webflow to ensure they allow external updates.
Double-check the Zapier integration settings for the Webflow integration.
By addressing these potential issues, you should be able to resolve the "ValidationError: Validation Failure" when updating a multi-reference field in Zapier using Webflow.
