Fuzzy Matching in Airtable with N8N or Make.com Integration

Hey team, is it possible to conduct "look up" inside of Airtable and do fuzzy match? or match by lookalike description determined by GPT or Claude? If not directly, can this be done via N8N or Make.com (http://Make.com)?

We offer a "Lookup Record with Airtable" action in Clay, but it doesn't include fuzzy matching or AI-powered lookalike descriptions. This action allows you to check if a specific record exists in your Airtable base using exact matching criteria. For more advanced matching, you'd need to use external tools or custom solutions. N8N might offer more flexibility for implementing fuzzy matching or AI-powered comparisons, but this isn't a feature we directly provide within Clay's Airtable integration. If you need further assistance or want to explore alternative approaches, please ask to speak with a human agent who can provide more detailed guidance on your specific use case.
