Content Fetch action

Reads one record, by id or by a field the type uses as a unique key. In the action picker it is Content Fetch, under Content Actions. With no connection it reads this workspace's records; with a Brightspot connection, content in that CMS.

Fields

FieldRequiredDescription
ConnectionNoLeave empty for this workspace's records. Pick a Brightspot connection to read from that CMS.
SiteNoShown only for a Brightspot connection: the site to act on. Blank means the connection's site when it pins exactly one, otherwise every site the connection reaches.
Content TypeDependsRequired to fetch by any field other than the id. Optional when fetching by id, where it rejects records of any other type.
Lookup FieldNoThe field to match on. Leave blank to fetch by content id; pick an indexed unique field, such as a slug or an external id, to fetch by that instead.
Lookup ValueYesThe value to match. A content id when Lookup Field is blank. Accepts variables.

Output

FieldDescription
foundWhether a record matched.
contentId, contentTypeId, contentTypeName, labelThe record's identity, when found.
valuesThe record's field values, when found. In a workspace the fields are declared by name, so later steps can pick them.

A fetch by id that finds nothing fails the step: an id names a record that is supposed to exist. A fetch by any other field that finds nothing reports found: false and continues, since asking whether anything holds a value yet is exactly what a later Save with Create If Missing wants to know. More than one match fails, because the field was supposed to be unique.
