Hello,

I’m trying to transfer data from AirTable to firebase cloud firestore.    Everything gets converted to string or numbers even arrays on airtable get converted to string with a comma delimeter.   Any thoughts on how to transfer airtable arrays to firebase arrays ?

 

thanks.

Hi @helenabsj8 

 

I have had a similar issue this week when trying to convert arrays from Airtable into line items in QuickBooks. What I did is I used Formatter by Zapier - Line Itemizer to convert them to Line Items. I think you need a Formatter by Zapier step here as well.
