I’m trying to use the Memory Key field to remember a conversation with Anthropic’s Claude across several steps of a Zap.
In step 3 below, I include an interview transcript, which I then want to reference again in step 5.

In both steps, I’ve set the Airtable Record Id as the Memory Key (the information is pulled from an Airtable entry). In step 5, I then reference the transcript I’ve inserted in step 3 in this way:
“Take the INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT provided earlier in this conversation and compare it against the output you generated earlier in this conversation.”
However, as output from step 5, I get this from Claude:
“I apologize for the confusion, but I don't have access to an earlier interview transcript or output from this conversation.”
Is there anything else I need to do for this to work besides setting the Memory Key? For example, do I need to explicitly reference the key in the User Message field of step 5?
Thanks in advance for your help.
