Hello,  
I read some posts about searching rows but it’s very incredible that is not possible find a row by a key (and not row number).  
For example if I have a users table where the key is the email … why I have to read all rows, store them in a variable and then parse to find the right row?  
Moreover it is also not performing this way.  
Andrea

yes I have succeeded with Airtable API “filterByFormula” … I confirm this block missing in Thunkable.  
Thanks
