Hi @mibrahim547, as long as your approach works the way it does I’d stick to it.
However, seeing you are looking for an alternative, you could also do the following:
- Split your incoming items into batches of 1 using the Split In Batches node
- Search for the item using the Row → Get Many operation of the Baserow node with a suitable filter, enabling the “Always Output Data” option to prevent n8n from stopping when it finds no matching row:
- Use a Set node after the Baserow node to prevent the input data from getting lost
- Close the loop
After the loop you will then be able to add an IF node to check if an existing Baserow row was found or not. This might be easier to read, but that’s a personal preference of course. This is how my example workflow would look like:
You can test this using a Baserow database table looking like so (or by adjusting it to your actual data structure of course):
In the above example, n8n would identify the missing record on the IF node as it should:
