Templates and examples

Get the Row ID

To update or delete a particular record, you need the Row ID. There are two ways to get the Row ID:

Create a Row ID column in Grist

Create a new column in your Grist table with the formula $id.

Use the Get All operation

The Get All operation returns the Row ID of each record along with the fields.

You can get it with the expression {{$("GristNodeName").item.json.id}}.

Filter records when using the Get All operation

• Select Add Option and select Filter from the dropdown list.

• You can add filters for any number of columns. The result will only include records which match all the columns.

• For each column, you can enter any number of values separated by commas. The result will include records which match any of the values for that column.
