When a new post is added to my WordPress blog, I want to get it and put it into a Google Sheet I have.

While I have been able to set this up for the most part through Zapier, one issue I'm having is that I can't seem to get the tags for the post.

From googling this, I did see that you could do this by adding this code to a code app

var termsNameArray = input.termsName.split(",");
var termsTaxonomyArray = input.termsTaxonomy.split(",");

for (var i = 0; i < termsNameArray.length; i++) {
 if(termsTaxonomyArray[i] !== 'post_tag'){
 termsNameArray.splice(i, 1);
 }
}

var output = {};

for (var i = 0; i < termsNameArray.length; i++) {
 var outputKey = 'tag_' + (i + 1).toString();
 output[outputKey] = termsNameArray[i];
}

However, this is from 4 years ago and so when I tried it, it didn't seem to work anymore. Is there another way to do this perhaps potentially using this as a starting point?

Hi @Growler,

I think you could use a Formatter step before tackling something like that code you mentioned. Under the Utilities section of the Formatter you can find some functions that let you work with line items. And it appears that WordPress tags are coming through as line items.

Can you check that out to see if you can get it doing what you need?
