Problem with Search records Make module

[99smile99]

I have a Search records Airtable module in Make, which, given the same data, sometimes searches for a record correctly and sometimes not. Have you encountered such a situation? What could this be caused by? The data is literally identical in both cases.

Hey @99smile99 

I’ve encountered similar inconsistencies with Airtable in Make.com, and it can be frustrating. Here are some potential causes and fixes: Even small spaces or invisible characters can cause mismatches. Use the Trim Funtion within Make.com to clean the data before searching.

• Airtable’s API might not reflect recent updates instantly. Adding a small delay (1-2 seconds) between operations in Make.com can help avoid timing issues Ensure that both the search input and Airtable records use the same case. You can use Lowercase fillter in Make.com to ensure consistency. Double-check the field type you’re searching in (e.g., text vs. number) to avoid conflicts

These tweaks should help you get more consistent results!
