Mastering Make.com: How to Fix the Dropdown List Issue with ClickUp Integration - A Step-by-Step Guide

Hey there, Make.com users! Today, we're going to tackle a common problem that some of you might have encountered when using ClickUp with Make.com. The issue arises when you have a dropdown selection in ClickUp, say for "country", and instead of passing the text (like "United States") to Make.com, ClickUp sends the list number (like 237). This can be quite confusing and frustrating, right? But don't worry, we've got a solution for you!

Step-by-Step Solution

The problem here is that the data is not coming as a text value, but as a number. In most cases, you can get it as text. However, if that's not possible, you can use a switch module to convert the number to the corresponding text value. Here's how:

  1. Open your Make.com dashboard and locate the dropdown list that's causing the issue.
  2. Find the switch module in the list of available modules.
  3. Add the switch module to your dashboard.
  4. Configure the switch module to convert the number from the dropdown list to the corresponding text value. For example, if ClickUp is passing 237 instead of "United States", set the switch module to convert 237 to "United States".
  5. Save your changes and test the dropdown list to make sure it's now passing the correct text value to Make.com.
