Question

WordPress Taxonomy field only showing number rather than string value

I have connected my Zapier with a WordPress front-end form so that when a user submits the form specific fields will be created as a new row on a Google Sheets document.

One of my fields are linked to a Taxonomy on WordPress but when the value of the field comes over to Zapier, it is only showing a number, rather than the string value of the Taxonomy?

Any ideas how I can change this?

Thanks.

Hi @TheMotorMasters 

One workaround is to maintain a lookup table to use in the Zap to convert from the internal ID to the friendly value.

This can be done in a few ways.

  1. Formatter > Utilities > Lookup Table: https://zapier.com/help/create/format/create-lookup-tables-in-zaps
  2. GSheets - Lookup Row
  3. Airtable - Find Record
