Help Mapping Typeform fields to Salesforce Fields not showing


Hi All,

 

I am trying to map a number of Typeform fields to a Custom Object in salesforce.  In total I have 35 Fields that need to be mapped - most have mapped without problem.  The others don’t seem to have a corresponding field on the ‘Salesforce Field’ option, despite there being such a field in the custom object.  The formats are as follows:

 

“What products do you use?” - Typeform multiple choice question (one option) - Salesforce - Picklist

“What Brand do you use?” - As above

“What Brand(s) do you use? - Typeform multiple choice question (Multi option) - Salesforce - MultiPicklist

“What Brand do you use2? - Typeform Long Text - Salesforce -Long text Area (260)

“What are your Habits” - Typeform multiple choice (one option) - Salesforce Picklist

“What is your favourite” - As above

“Reasons” - Typeform Ranking - Salesforce Long Text Area(131072)

 

None of the above are “required” questions in either Typeform or Salesforce.  I’ve gone through all the forum questions, cleared cookies etc and still  no avail. Can anyone assist?

 

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi @SamGirv Are you receiving an error message? Or just no option to map those questions? Do you mind sharing a photo of what you’re seeing? 
 

Also, if you have any changes that need to be published, clicking the publish button in Typeform might solve that issue!

Hi Liz,

 

thanks for getting back to me.  No error message.  I get the option to map some fields in some of the ‘Salesforce Field’ options but not all and not the right field.

 

In others I get no option.

 

My Typeform is published.

 

Best wishes

Do you mind sharing a photo of what you’re seeing (or not seeing, in this case) in Salesforce and how the questions are set up in the Typeform builder, @SamGirv ?

Yes, thank you, @SamGirv ! Let me ask the tech team about this, as I can’t see anything offhand that would prevent the fields from mapping.

Hi @SamGirv The tech team let me know that the most common reason for custom fields not showing in the mapping would be missing the Field-Level-Security. Our article here can give a bit more insight on this. 

Do you happen to know if this is the case with those fields not appearing?
