Overview

This node operation retrieves a specific attribute from either an object or a list in the Attio API. It requires the user to specify the target type (object or list), an identifier for the object or list, and the attribute identifier. This operation is useful for scenarios where you need to fetch detailed attribute data associated with a particular entity in Attio, such as getting metadata or custom fields for a record or list.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch a custom attribute of a contact object by providing the object's UUID and the attribute's UUID.
  2. Retrieve a specific attribute from a list by specifying the list's slug and the attribute's slug.

Properties

Name Meaning
Target Specifies whether the attribute belongs to an object or a list. Options are 'objects' or 'lists'.
Identifier A UUID or slug that identifies the specific object or list the attribute belongs to.
Attribute A UUID or slug that identifies the specific attribute to retrieve.

Output

JSON

  • json - The JSON response containing the attribute details retrieved from the Attio API.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for Attio API authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the 'Target' value correctly matches whether the attribute is on an object or a list.
  • Verify that the 'Identifier' and 'Attribute' values are valid UUIDs or slugs corresponding to existing entities in Attio.
  • Common errors include authorization failures if the API key is invalid or missing, and 404 errors if the specified attribute or target does not exist.
