Repeater field mapping

Optimizely Content Marketing Platform (CMP) supports mapping the ACF Repeater field to the structured content Component and Reference type fields.

Create the structured content component first, then add the appropriate fields.

Example

You created a component called ACF Repeater with two text type fields, Name and Address.

Add this Component to the structured content as a Reference field.
