Makers can now get access to a Record ID for use in custom actions, visibility rules, conditional actions, list filtering, or anywhere else in your app! *Skill Level: Expert* ## Before You Begin * You will need an [Adalo Starter Plan](https://www.adalo.com/pricing) or higher to use this feature. * Ensure you have an understanding of [Actions](https://help.adalo.com/glossary#action), [Databases](/database.md), and [Magic Text](https://help.adalo.com/glossary#magic-text) * Ensure you have read about the basics of APIs (see [our primer on them here](https://help.adalo.com/glossary#api-application-programming-interface)) ## Walkthrough A Unique Record ID is automatically set for each new Record in your Adalo Collections. Record IDs are values that can't be changed, meaning you can rely on consistent data as opposed to using something such as an Email Address which can be updated by the User. The Record ID can be found via [Magic Text ](https://help.adalo.com/glossary#magic-text)in Filtering, Conditional Actions, Visibility Rules, and Conditional Actions. ## Learn More * [Custom Actions](broken://pages/-M8SNZbnXsFsAqN4uxdY) * [External Collections with APIs](/integrations/external-collections-with-apis.md) ## Help If you would like to take a further look at the capabilities of Custom Actions, we will highly recommend you to take the [Custom Actions Course](https://appacademy.adalo.com/course/custom-actions) from [The Adalo App Academy](https://appacademy.adalo.com/homepage).

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://help.adalo.com/integrations/accessing-record-id.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
