I am getting an invalid column value for Name when trying to create a new customer from a WPform in Zoho via Zapier. In both WPform and Zoho the Name field is separated into First and Last. Any idea on how to fix this?

Hi there
Welcome to the Community! 🎉
Before we proceed any further, would it be possible for you to share a detailed screenshot of your Zap configuration with me? It would be especially helpful if you could include a screenshot of the "Action" section of the Zoho action step, as well as the settings of the "Name" field in Zoho. This way, I can take a closer look and provide you with more accurate guidance. Please don’t include/blur out any personal information in the screenshot.
Looking forward to hearing back from you! 😊

Hey
This is just an educated guess, but could it be possible you are receiving this error as your screenshots indicate you have two separate Fields labeled/named “Name”. Can you take a look at that please and possibly try renaming one of the fields and see what that produces? Looking forward to your response!
Hi Chanelle
Thank you for reaching out.
I’ve attached another screenshot from Zoho which shows the layout of the Direct Client form and the properties of the Name field. There is only one field called ‘Name’ in this form. It is comprised of a First Name and Last Name as can be seen from the properties and also from the user input view of the form, also attached.
Zapier only displays the Zoho Name field for mapping purposes (see previous screenshots), rather than the First Name and Last Name fields, whereas First Name and Last Name are available from Wordpress as shown in the screenshot below. I wonder if this is the issue?
