How do I map a single select in Google Forms to a Notion select property?

Hi all, I run a net label hem.fm. Where I use Google Forms to collect responses and using Zapier to integrate with notion database.

Most of the data I collect in Google Forms are text, despite one or two questions where it’s a single select.

I previously try to store the single selects as a text property in notion, but as I’m trying to change this property in notion to be a select property, my runs are giving me errors. Is this something achievable with Zapier?

Thanks for any thoughts

Just to chime in here - in my experience, as long as the Notion user account being used has full access to the database in question, it will just create new values in a Single / Multi-Select property if a matching one doesn’t already exist, and you can just pass in values as plain text.
