Hello, we are building a impact survey on webflow that will be recorded in airtable. One part of our survey has a multi select option. When a form is submitted it is showing as “truefalsetruetrue” instead of showing each individual element. 

 

I thought that Zapier might be able to help but I am not having much luck. I even tried paths however it will only record one answer instead of selecting multiple options.

Hi @cybercollective 

For us to have full context, post screenshots with the DATA OUT from the trigger step that you were trying to use.

This is what shows up in Zapier when a form is submitted:

These are all options on our form.

This is how the data is shown in Airtable. I am trying to figure out how I can select each individual item instead of everything coming through as one string. 

I tried to use paths but when I tried this each path would override the last instead of selecting a additional item in the multi select field. 

 

I also don’t pay for paths, and am hoping to find a solutions that doesn't require me to upgrade. 

 

 

I saw a few articles mention about using the formatter to help with this, however nothing has worked for me quite yet.

Here’s the JavaScript for a Code step:

 

// Create an object to hold the variables
var SET = {
SocialMedia: inputData.SocialMedia,
Workshop: inputData.Workshop,
Conference: inputData.Conference,
Other: inputData.Other
};

// Filter the object for truthy values and return the keys in an array
SET = Object.keys(SET).filter(function(key) {
return SET[key] === "true";
});

output = [{SET}];
