I have an Airtable field that is MultipleSelect with categories of news articles for a website I’m building. The logic in the workflow is assigning the category so when I approve in teh puclis queue, it will post to that section of teh news page. Problem is n8n is expecting an array, but it’s receiving a giant string (that literally includes the whole code + instructions)
.
I am stuck on this one node and have had to start over 4 times already. Once this is sorted out, I publish.
Describe the problem/error/question
What is the error message (if any)?
Please share your workflow
