Which function should I use to retrieve the smallest Order ID when I only need one?

[] is already the first item in the array. What do you wanna do exactly. If you want to get the data from the first Item (order\_id, order\_status etc) you can use the map-function.

Take a look here [Getting data from a bundle? - #2 by guuyef](https://community.make.com/t/getting-data-from-a-bundle/15337/2)

or use the [make.com](http://make.com) docu

I need to obtain the item with the lowest order\_id. While it’s sometimes the first item and at other times the second, my goal is to get the one with the smallest order\_id, as illustrated in the image below:

@Sam_Krausz

you need to use the map function to get value from order\_ID, and concatenate with first function to get the smallest value.
