Problem with Zapier connection
I set up a link to Google Forms via Zapier, and tested it by duplicating three Ninox fields in Google Forms - one a single line of text, two a three-option choice field, and three an image. When I tested it by filling in a Google Form, the record showed up fine in Google Forms. But in Ninox the text field value showed up fine, the choice field remained blank, and the image showed up as a link to Google Drive. In the setup on Zapier I didn't specify content for any fields, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas ...? It would be nice if the choice field reproduced and the image showed up as an image!

Hi,
If you use a simple choice field it should be enough if you get the (exactly identical as in the value list of the choice field) text of the choice field in order to import it. If you use a multiple choice field it as bit more complicated, as you have to import an array.
As Zapier will transmit only text/strings you will not get file (like an image file) via that. But you can use the importFile function to import the image from the given URL.
The syntax for that is the following:importFile(this, "https://static.ninoxdb.de/images/logo-ninox-new-2@2x.png")

Hi Michael,
This function does only work on a button at the moment. We already have it on our Change request list to make work also on a "Trigger after Update".
Best, Jörg
