typeform / airtable connection - orc, elf, and goblin 

Hi another question related to this topic,

Do you know how to deal with the “Other” option in typeform (so people can answer whatever idea they have) and to integrate it with Airtable?
What should I mention in both airtable and typeform so it matches and allow the integration?

For the moment, it works without the “other” option but as soon as I add it, it generates this error message:

“Hmm...not a perfect match

The options in your typeform question must be the same as the options in your Airtable field. If your options are orc, elf, and goblin in your typeform question, you need orc, elf, and goblin in the Airtable field you're matching with.”

Thank you

Yohan

Hi @YohanLafon The mapping of the “other” field isn’t currently supported, so you will need to turn that option off in order to connect the integration. You can read more about this here. 

Thank you very much Liz. Have a great day! Yohan

Had a similar issue due to “Others” toggle enabled for a multiple choice type question. This “Others” that typeform generates didn’t match with the text choice “Others” on Airtable.

Solution: Disable “Others” on Typeform (see image below) and manually enter an option “Others”.

Thanks for sharing that, @lesterprem !

hello @Liz I’m running into a similar issue. after reviewing the forums, I’ve

• made sure the form is published
• ensured question and fields and Airtable and Typeform is exactly the same
• used Multiple Choice in Typeform and multiple select in Airtable (i’ve also tried single select)
• checked there are no extra space or duplicate characters

but am still getting the hmm...not a perfect match error message. Driving me insane, all the other fields have been able to sync properly.
