I’m trying to create an “add to watchlist” trigger and automate this in Airtable.
I created a unique webhook URL link that contains the item ID, and need to retrieve the ID of the user triggering this action to then create/update record in Airtable. Is it possible?

Softr can provide the Email address.
If you have the email address then you can get the Record ID of the User from the Airtable Base.

Good question.
Please clarify from which app you are trying to get the User ID.
+14Perhaps you can post a screenshot with an example of the User ID data point from Softr that you are trying to get so we have more context.
Hi
Here’s my user database on Softr which is connected to an Airtable. I’d like to retrieve the email of these users to restrict view on Softr so that they can have a personalized watchlist.
Also, the following is what I’m trying to achieve without having to manually enter the record ID/email of users
