Cannot Access Airtable "Create a Record" Output (Record ID) in Later Module

How To
1

I’m building a scenario where a Tally form submission flows through these modules:

  1. Tally – Watch responses
  2. Airtable – Create a record
  3. Tools – Text aggregator
  4. OpenAI – Generate a response
  5. Airtable – Update the same record

The issue: In the final Airtable “Update a Record” module, I cannot access the Record ID from the earlier “Create a Record” step. In fact nothing from the create record module is visible here.

Things I’ve tried:

  • Verified module order is correct and linear
  • Used “Set variable” to expose the ID as record_id
  • Ran the scenario end-to-end to trigger dynamic data
  • Tried manually typing {{record_id}} in the final module

Still getting Missing value of required parameter: id error.
Any idea why the Record ID isn’t accessible downstream?

Thanks!

Hi @Nicholas_Jaeger Welcome to the community!

I think you need to use set a variable before text aggregator module with some name like “record_id” and use get a variable module with same variable name to get that record it back before update a record. And remove text aggregator module if you don’t need it, in that case you will be able to map record id directly…
