Hello, 


Here is the screenshot of my Zap, basically getting a product name from Airtable, then sent to chatgpt to get info about that product, finally create a new record in Airtable with the chatgpt info in a dedicated column.

The issue I have is that the product info on Airtable is not added in the correct line, next to its corresponding product. Instead it created new lines at the end of the table. Should I update something in the step 4?

 

Thank you!

Hey @Montrachos ,

 

The 4th action that you should use Update Airtable Record and not create a record.

 

You will get record id from Trigger event and you can use that to update Update Record Action.

Hi @Montrachos 

If you are trying to update the same Airtable record as Step 1, then you probably do not need Zap Step 3.

Just map the Record ID from Step 1 to the Zap step for Airtable Update Record.
