I am trying to create a ‘Find Record’ Airtable Task in Zapier that finds a row based on the values in two columns, {USER ID} and {TAGGED RX}.

The USER ID should match the value in a previous step and the TAGGED RX should equal 0. This is the formula I am using, but it is creating an error:

{USER ID}="{{29838037__user__user_id}}"&"{Tagged Rx}=“0”

Is there a mistake in my code?

Thanks you!

Julian, thanks for your advice.

I try to use Integromat, but I have a problem.
I can’t adapt your formula for Integromat.

Hi @Andrew_Andrievich

The formula is actually simpler in Integromat - here is an example which goes through my Active Project with Airtable as the database:

Note the Max Records field - this defaults to one - which means that only one record would be returned - so change this to a number large enough to return all the possible records.

Any steps after this will be performed for each returned record (you can also aggregate them etc when you become a bit more proficient).

Using search formula to find and match a record based on their name and date, screenshots below. I’m using Julian’s “AND” formula and Zapier keeps creating new records instead of matching the one that exists. Any ideas?

Hey guys, running into the same issue here.

I placed the Airtable Record ID inside of the string of a Slack message that i would like it to find.

I cant get this search formula to work, i am also not a developer myself so i have no business doing this. I’ve been trying to get this to work for 3 days… almost losing hope.

Can you guys help me with writing the formula exactly as you would as a reply below?

Hi, can we have {Status} = “Active” AND {Database} contains “Airtable”?
