Get the Record ID

To fetch data for a particular record, you need the Record ID. There are two ways to get the Record ID.

Create a Record ID column in Airtable

To create a Record ID column in your table, refer to this article. You can then use this Record ID in your Airtable node.

Use the List operation

To get the Record ID of your record, you can use the List operation of the Airtable node. This operation will return the Record ID along with the fields. You can then use this Record ID in your Airtable node.

Filter records when using the List operation

To filter records from your Airtable base, use the Filter By Formula option. For example, if you want to return all the users that belong to the organization n8n, follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Select 'List' from the Operation dropdown list.
2. Enter the base ID and the table name in the Base ID and Table field, respectively.
3. Click on Add Option and select 'Filter By Formula' from the dropdown list.
4. Enter the following formula in the Filter By Formula field: {Organization}='n8n'.

Similarly, if you want to return all the users that don't belong to the organization n8n, use the following formula: NOT({Organization}='n8n').

Refer to the Airtable documentation to learn more about the formulas.
