Hi @cblock, happy to help! Our API does have support for lookup and people columns; here’s how it works (elaborating here for future reference):
- For Lookup from table columns, specify the text-only name of your lookup value’s display column, and when inserted it will get matched to the row
- For People columns, you can use either the full name of the person or their email address. Note that the person already needs to be in the doc (i.e., show up directly in the People dropdown, not under “Show more” if you have a G Suite account)
Also for both types of columns in multi-select mode, you can pass in an array or comma-separated list to insert multiple values.
I’m not entirely sure why “Filip” in your example wouldn’t get matched the same way as via the select menu. If you could reach out to us via in-doc help and share the doc with support@, we can take a look to see if there’s maybe a bug on our end or an issue in your doc.
