Airtable returns a record ID (a number from a text field) as alphanumeric

Hi

I create new records in Airtable via the API with integromat. As part of the payload I send a id which is numerical, however when I receive the response back from airtable, the id is displayed as alphanumeric. The same happens when I send an api request for records, the id is also displayed as alphanumeric - I have to see the id as a number

Please assist

Thanks
