Need help! Updating airtable record by ID return 404

Hello !

I’m currently working on a pretty simple automation process:

  1. I get a post from “MONTHLY POSTS” talbe in airtable
  2. I update or remove the record from the same table based on the post ID.

This is a basic simplification of what I need to do, just to test how to update and remove records from airtable.

When I try to get the post ID “dynamically”, meaning that the refference I pass to airtable is the one I get from the first “get record” node, I get an error 404.

But if I get the post ID clicking on “search” and selecting a specific ID, it works:

The problem is that I need to use a different post ID every time.
I thought it could be a matter of permission in airtable, and I already managed properly all the access from make.com to airtable, but the fact that I’m being able to update it when I select it from the proposed list makes me think that maybe I’m using some kind of bad formating of the post_id.
I already tried with variables and cast formula.

Any help on that? I would really really appreciate it :heart:

Thanks a lot.

Hi so recordId is not the postId you need to use airtables id system as the recordid.

Example: It should literally just be the ID from the record you are updating from the search.

Working smoothly!! I thought I had to work with inner ID’s, but it was easier than that.

Thanks a lot again!!!
