Use field NAME (not just value) from previous step in later step?

#1

Is it possible to use a field name (not the value) from a step in a later step?

For example, I have a step that does an http request. Part of the json response is a mapping of ids and values, e.g.

{
“123”:“hello”,
“456”:goodbye"
}

Each time I do the request in that step, I could get different ids and values depending on the data I send. For example, sometimes, I could get back:

{
“987”:“hello”,
“105”:“table”
}

or whatever.

I’d like to then use the id and the value that came in to look up something. For example, let’s say I have a gsheet that has a concatenated column of ids and values, e.g. “123-hello”, “987-hello”, “105-table” - and I want to thus look up the id-value in that column and get back the right row.

Is this possible somehow? Thanks!

Hey @candle

This would only be possible by using the Code service I’m afraid. There’s a thread here that hopefully will help a bit with how to handle this. :slight_smile:
