Add custom fields and featured image in Wordpress

Here's a Look link to a video showing the issue and what I've found:

Integrating ACF Fields with WordPress and Zapier

In this video, I walk through my process of using Zapier to connect webhooks with Google Sheets and create posts in WordPress, specifically focusing on custom fields using ACF. I've encountered some challenges with linking the custom fields correctly, as they don't seem to be recognized when I...

Hi Preeti. I'm not sure what you mean by the first question. The custom fields are created in a plugin called ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) as a field group.

This has a rule attached to it to link the group of fields to the custom post type "Customer Stories".

The custom fields then appear when creating or editing a post of this type. This one has been manually filled in:

When the Pabbly flow creates the post, all the custom fields are blank:

Hello @smadds,

Thanks for sharing the detailed explanation and screenshots. As of now, the Meta field in the Create Post action is meant for adding standard WordPress metadata, not for populating custom fields introduced using the ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) plugin.

That said, we understand your use case and will discuss the feasibility of supporting this scenario. If there are any updates or changes in this regard, we will get back to you accordingly.

OK. This is so disappointing, as I was hoping to move several customers away from Zapier and onto your platform, but this would be a deal breaker.

Can I do anything to accelerate the priority of this development?

I'm sure others using the WordPress connector would also benefit.

Hello @smadds,

This is to inform you that ACF fields are now supported. Please enable the “Show in REST API” option under your ACF plugin settings (refer to the attached image). Once enabled, you can pass the custom fields under the acf object, and the values will be added when creating the post.

Hi Preeti

Good to see that new field to select ACF or META, thanks!

I've just done a test and the custom field was successfully passed to the post and shown in the response.

Thank you very much. Please pass on my thanks to the devs.
