I am trying to find a record in Airtable, but am getting the "type: FAILED_STATE_CHECK" error when I test this step. The data inputs are text that match a text column in Airtable (I can CTRL + F) to find the items in Airtable), and I have already formatted the data to match the format in Airtable (e.g., removed trailing blank spaces). Any idea why this may be happening?

Error finding Record in Airtable

-
422 error: FAILED_STATE_CHECK
-
Error meaning - values and/or parameters in the endpoint path have been mismatched
-
Troubleshooting steps - Review the URL path and parameters to verify that the values indicated match and/or exist. This includes base Ids (aka application Ids), Table Ids, View ids, record Ids, etc.
-
Example: Let’s say you have a base that includes Table A and Table B. Further, Table A includes View 1 whereas Table B includes View 2. If you make a request to the List records endpoint with Table A but use View 2 as a parameter, the request will error because View 2 does not belong to Table A.
