I’m trying to add up prices i extracted from my google form using formatter, but its saying invalid format. I dont know if the error is from the format i used in the google form in terms of numbers or from my zappier. Please help

Hi ​@Busaxo11 

For us to have more info about what you are referring to post screenshots showing how your Zap steps are outlined and configured in the CONFIGURE tab while in EDIT mode with the field mappings visible.

This is a picture of my zap

 

Also included is a picture of my google form

Issues:

  1. You have 2 variables mapped into the same input field
    1. Fix is to have 1 variable mapped per input field
    2. In other words, 2 variables, means 2 input fields, each with 1 variable
  2. The value for each variable is not a number, rather the variable value is “sample text question answer”
    1. Fix is to make sure you test your GForm with real data, then pull thru a trigger example to use to test your Zap action steps
    2. Make sure to test your Zap trigger step again after submitting the GForm

 

Thank you for the help so far, i have adjusted the first issue. but i still have issues with the google form.

​@Busaxo11 

Try this order of operations:

  1. Submit the GForm with real data
  2. Go to your Zap trigger step and test in the TEST tab to pull thru your real GForm submission
  3. Test your Formatter step using the real GForm submission data

thank you for the response. I’m still having the same issues

Help us have current context, by posting screenshots showing how your Zap steps are now outlined and configured along with any errors from testing.
