✅ Get record data by ID via manually triggered flow

[candid yarrow]

I am trying to create a flow to call an external service that includes the data from the collection record. I cannot find a way to call the Read Data operation to fetch only a specific record, it only will return all records, or the IDs that are hard-coded into the Read Data Operation.

I have tried passing in {{$last}} and other moustache-variants into the IDs field in the Read Data settings, but it appears to only work with hard-coded ID values. Same is true using the graphQL filter syntax option, I can only use hard-coded IDs but not dynamically pass in the IDs of the records that the flow was called on.

Surely there is a way to fetch the CMS record data for record(s) that a manually triggered flow is called on, but how do these ID's get entered into the Read Data operation?

what kind of event is triggering your flow? an item create event?

It was a manual event trigger, which only returns the ids of the selected rows, but I figured out the issue! I needed to stringify the handlebars of the variable in the graphql filter and it worked!

    "filter": {
        "id": {
            "_in": "{{$last.body.keys}}"
        }
    }
}
