# Get record

> Get one Airtable record by its stable record ID.

`getRecord` loads one record and all field values visible to the connected
account.

## Example

```ts automations/get-airtable-record.automation.ts theme={null}
import { automation, onHttpRequest } from "automate.ax"
import { getRecord } from "automate.ax/airtable"

export default automation("Get an Airtable lead", () => {
  onHttpRequest({ scope: "automation" })
  getRecord({ base: "CRM", table: "Leads", recordId: "rec123" })
})
```

## Output

Returns an `AirtableRecord` with `id: string`, `createdTime: Date`, and
`fields: Record<string, JsonValue>`.

Keep `id` for update and delete actions. Airtable omits fields with empty values
from many API responses, so do not assume every table field is present.
