How to get Zapier to ignore {{ }} from Google Sheets

Hi - i have a zap to import data from a Google sheet to a notion database. The Google sheet has columns in it that contain liquid syntax so it has many instances of double curly braces {{ }}. Zapier is seeing these and trying to be clever - I just want it to ignore them and import them across as is without changing the original data source as it is generated by an external system. I’ve tried to use formatters between the steps but no luck. Does anyone come across anything similar and have a recommended workaround?

Hi @kbug 

Good question.

Unfortunately Zapier treats those {{VARIABLES}} as dynamic variables, which is why you see those as converted.

You’d have to make the value of the variable be the desired value you want passed over.
