Search all apps in automation

Hi all,
Is there some way to search for a record in all the apps in an automation?

Is this possible or currently existing and built into the automations?

I have the record ID and would love to be able to do this because if not I will have to duplicate automations for each app instead of a global one…

Is there some simple way I am missing here?

Should we chain all the searches per app like if search in app A is empty then try B or some other workaround? Or group the apps somehow?

Thanks a lot.
Best,
R.J.

Hi again,
I found a workaround.

We can chain actions like this:

  • search App A.
  • conditional if field 1 in App A is not empty.
  • do the needed action.
  • else if conditions are not met.
  • clear collected.
  • search App B.
  • conditional if field 2 in App B is not empty.
  • do the needed action.
  • etc.

Anyways, I would love to know if there is a way/action to directly search for all the records/apps. I guess this could be limited given that this could potentially consume lots of resources and cause some performance hit.

Thanks.
Best.
