Two Forms Server Action Logic

How do I go about this I have a form that inserts a row into my database table named content then I need to pull the insert id from this row to be used in a follow up action that updates this row if needed and adds a row into another database tables named content_perms.

One idea I tried was a normal action and when its complete it runs a exec action in the library the param of the insert works great but the second forms values are not working am I going about this wrong?

I also messed around with flows but couldn’t seem to make this work?
