Hi!

I have a problem with an AirTable inside Workflow, specifically the “Sync a Record” action

I tried to insert the ID of my record inside the collection I selected and got error 400

I didn’t find any information about “Sync a Record” in the [weweb.io](http://weweb.io) documentation.

Maybe someone has encountered a similar problem and can help?

Hi @andrii_r 👋

The “Sync a record” action is only for cached collections. It asks the server to refresh the data of this record. It’s useful when you edit a table and you also need to refresh a linked record.

Does that make sense?

Can you tell us more about your use case?
