CMS Bridge

In this example, we’ve got 3 Collections/Tables.

• Motorcycles is the Parent Collection.
• Brand (Single Ref.) and Countries (Multi Ref.) are the Children Collection.

So, we need to build 3 Connections, 1 for each.

For the Reference Fields to Sync inside Motorcycles (Parent Collection), we must first Sync the Children Collections.

So, let’s Sync the Brand Connection and then, the Countries Connection; Here, the order of Syncing doesn’t matter and you can have as many Children Collections as you want.

Next:

1. Inside the Parent Connection, ensure you’ve Linked all the desired Reference Fields
2. Remember to clear the value of the CMS-B: Sync time Airtable Field ⚠️

Finally, let’s Sync the Parent (Motorcycles) Collection.
