Records created through Internal AppSheet API call ARE NOT available for follow-up tasks.

When creating records through an internal AppSheet API call, it seems that the records created in one step ARE NOT immediately available in subsequent steps.

  • Apparently, you have to wait for these newly created records to be available.
  • You can't create a follow-up task, like I did above, where we take the results of the previous task and work with them.

What ends up happening is:

  1. The records are created
  2. The next task runs WITHOUT these new records.

And FYI: my API call is not asynchronous

My thought was to try and use return value:

  • But you can't select JSON as the type
  • And it seems that advanced JSON formats (like what is returned by the API) are not supported anyways.

Too bad these features aren't plug-and-play. ๐Ÿ˜ž 

  • It would be intuitive for these records to be available immediately for subsequent tasks
  • If there is a technical reason why they aren't: being able to select JSON as the output type would likely solve this
