Airtable Filter by Formula and IF node

[shvz]

Hey Guys,

I’m scratching my head about something that is supposed to be really simple

I’m doing an API call, and store ID into an Airtable

all I want is to have a Filterbyformula where if ID is not found then consider this as a new post → go through the LLM, however since I have a bundle of 239 items, I need to iterate 1 by 1

I think I have the Filter and the IF branch right - basically ID is present on Airtable, this post is already in Airtable then evaluate False → skip

If the ID is not found then evaluate to True → go through the LLM

here is my filter and my IF - I’ve tested, if I pass an known ID it evaluate to False, if I pass an ID not known it evaluate to true

my concern is that since my IF statement is empty, I cannot pass any information from that node to the LLM

the issue is that the system cannot determinate which item to use

Any suggestion on how I can fix this?

On the openAI node, try this

instead of .item.jsom
try eg {{ $('DebugHelper').first().json.email }}
