N8n row matching logic for update operation

Developer Talk Integrations
1

Using SeaTable with n8n, it did not provide me with the option to update specific rows, where I do not know the rowId.
I used Airtable before, and they had a “matching row” functionality, which was very helpful.

Now, I used my very junior dev capabilities to extend the SeaTable node, but would appreciate it if one of you guys take a look and make it production ready, so others can participate from that functionality as well.
Main commit: included Seatabe function to update specific rows · n8n-io/n8n@699e9d4 · GitHub
additional minor fix: fixed minor issues · n8n-io/n8n@8fb325d · GitHub

THX!

Hey @IvIarkus,

thanks for your effort, but you could use the community node for n8n. This should contain everything you need:

Unfortunately this code is not yet merged into the main n8n product. But there is already a pull request for that.

Best regards

Hey Christoph,
nice to see all the additional options now!

Now there is at least the option to search a row by keyword. This way, one can update a row without knowing the rowId using 2 nodes.

I still hope you consider my approach for future updates, as it is even more convenient to use.

Thanks!
Markus
