This Data Flow template is made up of two Data Operations that allow app builders to find records in Airtable by last name. This is achieved by connecting with the Airtable integration, passing data to this Data Flow and then looking for a record with such data.
In Connection Builder, Data Flow templates can be found with pre-populated sample data. However, to meet the requirements of their Journey, app builders should perform the necessary adjustments, such as adding other Data Ops.
Bear in mind that in order to use the Airtable API as a datasource, credentials must be set in Configuration Builder > Integrations to connect the corresponding account.
