hi!
I have a ZAP setup to take data from Airtable, and when a new record is created (via a form), it should create a new post in wordpress.
The posts text show up, but not the image.
Ive tried: image URL, image FILE, image FILENAME, etc
When the form is filled out with an image, the image does upload into airtable.
Zapier does see the filename/airtable URL/etc
ZAP completes successfully, creating a new post
image is missing
thank you!
Hi
Good question.
Please post screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured for us to have more context, thanks.
When Zap begins, it has the featured_media data:
When testing is loading, the featured_media is still there, but when it completes “success”!, the featured_media field is 0:
This is the same whether featured_media is from “Featured Media” or “Custom”.
Image DOES successfully transfer to wordpress IF the post type is “Media”, but not if “Posts” or “Pages”.

thank you!
Have you tried this?
In order to take an image from a previous step (like your Trigger, for example) and add it as a featured image on your post, you have to use 2 WordPress steps.
First, you use the 'Upload Media' step to add the image to your WordPress website:
Then, on your 'Create Post' step you make use of the image you just uploaded, by selecting "Use a Custom Value" for the 'Featured Media' field and then using the "Attachment ID":
It worked!! Thank you!!
