I am trying to use Zapier to publish CTP in wordpress with data coming from Salesforce.com. I can see standard fields in the Zapier creator but not the Tooltype custom fields we have created.

I have searched online for solutions and only find this suggestion
hidden link

Is there not a solution for Toolset using custom fields with Zapier? How can I get Zapier to load the fields?

Hi there,

Thank you for waiting.

During my research, I discovered that this limitation of not able to map data from Salesforce to WordPress custom fields is not dependant on Toolset Types or any other similar third-party custom fields plugin.

Zapier's current integration with WordPress doesn't actually support/recognize custom fields and it doesn't matter if those fields were defined through WordPress, or through plugins like Toolset Types and Advanced Custom Fields.

This point is made clear in the link you referenced ( hidden link ) and the workaround of using Advanced Custom Fields for this no longer seems to work either, based on my tests.

Until the Zapier starts offering support for WordPress custom fields, a possible workaround is to save the required fields from
Salesforce, as part of the post's content.

e.g.


<div class="field-1">Tag for field 1</div>
<div class="field-2">Tag for field 2</div>
<div class="field-3">Tag for field 3</div>

After the data has been passed on to the WordPress as the part of the content, you'll be able to use custom PHP or jQuery code to show it, as needed.

I hope this helps!

regards,
Waqar
