Backend Workflow API - Get record and perform logic

Need help APIs
1

Can I get a record from the DB based on a parameter sent in to a workflow API?

I need to look up a record, get a value, apply some logic to the data sent in and return the results.

Thanks

Hi!

Inside the API WF, you can ā€˜Do a search for (element)ā€™ using necessary constraints, and if there is only one item, you could get it with :first-item ==> ā€˜Do a search for (element):first-itemā€™

Sorry I should have mentioned it is a Backend Workflow,.

I donā€™t see an option to search for anything

canā€™t you send the record to the API WF as a parameter?

1 Schedule API WF
params:
-Record = ā€˜Do a search for (element):first-itemā€™

2 API WF is triggered and youi can use This current record to handle its data

I have kind-of got it working using a make changes to a thing, then using itā€™s properties in the next step.

Seems very tricky though to do the basicsā€¦

I want to get a thing based on a parameter sent in to the api.
Then I want to do condition ā€¦

if paramterX is greater than thingY
then
responseA = paramterX*thingZ

and return responseA

I think, you can make this work by using ā€œReturn data from APIā€
