Value for updating a checkbox
Hello,
I am trying to pass in values via Zapier to update a checkbox type field.
I have restricted the column so that it will only accept checkbox values.
What value should I pass in to check/uncheck the box?
I have tried Yes, No, True, False, and some variations in all caps.
Thanks!

Hi Zac,
I'm not that familiar with Zapier, but in our API documentation the checkbox values are identified with the following:
Checked = true
Unchecked = false
(You can read more about this in our API Documentation, here.)
If this doesn't work, the Checkbox values in formulas are as follows, so you could try this:
Checked = 1
Unchecked = 0
(You can read about this in our Formula FAQ article, here.)
Let me know if either of these have worked for you!
Cheers,
Genevieve

After trying several different ideas. I HAVE A SOLUTION!
It turns out that all the versions for a "check" (i.e. 1, TRUE, True, true) work as well as the opposite (i.e. 0, false, False, and FALSE).
You just have to turn off the setting in the column properties that says, "restrict to checkbox use only"

I don't use Zapier, but I use Power Automate and utilizing lower case true and false appears to work for me.
