I am trying to create a workflow that builds a catalogue of products for a vendor to fulfill. The vendor will select one of many types of catalog and upon selection the catalogue will be pushed to their store. I am using the Integromat product importer module to pull the data from Airtable successfully imported products in this way. However, I have been unable to assign the products to any vendors. I have tried mapping the user id of vendors to the meta fields listed below - the values are indeed mapped to the fields but the products are not assigned to the vendor.

The meta keys I've tried:

  • store,
  • vendor,
  • _wcfm_product_author,
  • product_author,
  • seller,
  • author,
  • store_id,
  • vendor_id,
  • author_id,
  • post_author_id,
  • post_author,
  • user_id,
  • id,
  • store_name,
  • sold_by,

None of these meta field keys assign an imported product to an author – if you like, I can create a short video showing the process and the outcome if that would be helpful.

It turns out that WC does not natively support authors - attempts to assign a value to the field 'post_author' creates a meta field which is saved in wp_postmeta instead of wp_post. I found a plugin that adds product author support (allows access to the post_author in wp_post) here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-change-product-author/.

I then used the Wordpress module in Integromat to update my products with the specific authors.
