Updating a contact record's multiple select field

Updating a contact record's multiple select field

Hi folks,

I have a multiple select field (called Mailing Lists) in Zoho CRM which I wish to set to the text "Weekly Email"

I have created a step in Zoho Flow using a Create or Update Contact.

In the Mailing Lists field, I put the text "Weekly Email"  (including the quotes) but the flow returns an error requesting a jsondatatype.  I have tried {'Weekly Email'} but I still get the same error. Also tried Weekly Email (without the quotes)

How do I format an update of a multiple select field  with Zoho Flow Create or Update Contact?

Best regards,
Joe

      • How to Add Users to your Organization in ZohoMail?

        A better clarity so you can create other users to start using Zoho Mail. You can directly Add Users from the Control Panel to your Organization. You can invite users with the existing email address. If the person (user) already uses ZohoCRM, then you can import users from Zoho CRM. You can also import them using a .csv file. (if you are planning to add them in Bulk)  In this topic, We will be discussing on how to Add and Invite users only.  The Import options are self explanatory. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
