Hey Guys, Im sure there is a very simple answer here but i am very knew to javascript in general, i appreciate any insight anyone can give me. I am using the airtable script function to post new users to an external application via it's rest api. I am successfully able to create the new user but i wish to record the ID number that is returned in the call back, i would like to use this in later steps in the air table automation but cannot get output.set to work. My script looks like so
Solved! Go to Solution.

Your issue is that in your chain of "then" statements, your last "then" doesn't actually return a value. It just logs the response to the console instead of saving the response to the variable. Remove the line .then(response => console.log(response))
Then your response variable will have the data object. Put console.log(response) on a new line after the end of your code and you will see it.
Then you can use output.set('id', response.data.id)
