Repeater – Page Link (Show ACF from that page)

I have a custom field for the page image background_image and I have also created a repeater on another page with page link to pull those pages through.

I have been able to get the page URL and the page title but can’t get that custom field to appear. I’ve tried a variety and feel this is close but no success;

<?php if( have_rows('other_pages') ): ?>          
    <div class="flex-wrapper">
        <?php while( have_rows('other_pages') ): the_row(); ?>    
            <?php 
                // vars
                $post_id = get_sub_field('other_page_selector', false, false);

                // check 
                if( $post_id ): 
            ?>
                <div class="flex-shell" style="background-image:url('<?php get_the_field('background_image, $post_id'); ?>');">
                    <div class="overlay"></div>
                    <div class="flex-item">
                        <div class="subpage">
                            <a href="<?php echo get_the_permalink($post_id); ?>"><?php echo get_the_title($post_id); ?></a>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>
            <?php endif; ?>      
        <?php endwhile; ?>
    </div>
<?php endif; ?> 
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

Is this a typo in your code or just what you posted here

get_the_field('background_image, $post_id');

should be

get_the_field('background_image', $post_id);

I tried it and got an error;

<b>Fatal error</b>: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_the_field()

Got it with;

echo the_field('background_image', $post_id);

Sorry, I copied the function you had in your code and didn’t even notice that it was wrong while I did notice the misplaced single quote.
