@Gabe Figueroa Are you using a different key field from the record ID?

Try running a sample url through your browser, such as (https://mycompany.quickbase.com/db/parent_dbid?a=API_addrecord​)

You'll see something like this:
The "get inner HTML" for the 'rid' is referring to the <rid>X</rid>, so if you don't see that it could be the issue.
You may also need to add an apptoken if your app requires them.

Thank you, the issue was the apptoken. Honestly that had crossed my mind earlier but got distracted.

The function works but it is adding a blank record &redirecting me to that record and not the one I intended.
If I were to subtract 1 from the myrid then I would land on the record desired but the blank records would still get created.
