Hi Max,
When a user submits the form, the email notification I receive shows the data correctly (although ealier today it didn’t)—each service address and related field appears in sequence exactly as entered. However, in Zapier, the data becomes duplicated and inconsistent. For example:
-
All of the service addresses have now become identical to the first address entered, instead of showing as separate ones (Address 1, Address 2, Address 3, etc.).
-
Several fields that had valid input in the form now appear as placeholder text such as “Sample Long Text” or “Option 1” in Zapier.
-
Many fields also appear multiple times with identical labels, such as “Street Address”, “What service frequency do you require?”, and “Address Note (if applicable)”, without any way to distinguish which instance belongs to which section of the form.
I’ll show you an example below.
Here’s what I receive directly from an elfsight form submission in my email:
