Find Record
Retrieve a single record from a NocoDB table view.
Available on NocoDB Cloud (all plans) and licensed on-premise deployments.
The Find Record action node in NocoDB workflows allows you to locate and retrieve a single record from a table view based on specific record ID. This node is useful when you need to fetch detailed information about a particular record to use in subsequent workflow steps.
Configuration
- Table: Select the table to search for the record.
- View: (Optional) Choose a specific view to apply its predefined filters and sorting to the search.
- Record ID: Specify the unique identifier of the record you want to find. You can use static values or map data from previous nodes in the workflow.
How it works
- When the workflow reaches the Find Record node, it searches the selected table using the provided Record ID.
- If a matching record is found, its data is returned and made available to subsequent nodes.
- If no matching record is found, the node returns an empty result.
Use cases
- Look up a user, project, or entity before updating or linking records.
- Check for existing records to prevent duplicates.
- Fetch a related record to enrich data in downstream workflow actions.
