Create Row – Help Center

Use Create Row to add one row to a Data Table and set only the cells needed by the workflow.

Step Library: Data Tables

When to use this step

Use this step when you want to:

store workflow results as a new structured row;
create a row from fixed values or compatible workflow variables.

Use Update Row by ID instead when the row already exists.

Before you begin

You must be Table Owner or Table User for the selected table when you configure and publish the workflow.

Configure the step

Add Create Row from Data Tables.
Select the step to open its configuration panel.
Select a Table.
Set the column values that the new row needs.
Save or publish the workflow.

Settings

Setting	Required	Accepted values	Visible when	Description
Table	Yes	Data Table where you are Table Owner or Table User	Always	Stores the stable Table ID and current column schema in the workflow version.
Column value	No	Fixed value or compatible variable for the column type	Table is selected	Sets that cell. An omitted cell stays empty or receives the table column's default value. People values contain user identity snapshots; File values contain Data Table file-reference IDs.

Data and outputs

Workflow variable effects

This step does not modify workflow variables.

Step outputs

Step output	Type	Available when	Scope	Description
Row ID	Text	After success	Following steps in the current branch	Stable ID of the created row.
Row	Data Table row Object	After success	Following steps in the current branch	Created row, including Column-ID values, version, creator/updater identity and timestamps.
Result Status	Text	After success	Following steps in the current branch	`created`.

Runtime behavior

Execution and completion

Flowifier resolves configured values, validates them against the published column snapshot, checks the workflow version's table authorization and calls the central Data Table row service. The publishing user stored in that authorization becomes Created By and Updated By. The step completes only after the row and quota counters are committed.

Branches and child steps

This step does not have branches or child steps.

Failure, retry and resume behavior

This step does not suspend execution or perform automatic retries. A failed create does not expose outputs.

Errors and limits

Situation	Result	Resolution
The table or a configured column is unavailable	Publication is blocked, or the running step fails if the resource changed later	Reselect the table and review the mapped values.
A value has the wrong type or references an invalid People, select or File identity	The step fails without creating the row	Correct the value or source variable.
A table or tenant row quota is reached	The step fails without creating the row	Remove unused rows or change the applicable plan limits.
The author loses Table Owner/Table User before republishing	The changed workflow cannot be saved or published	Restore one of the required table roles. Already published versions remain authorized.

Example

Create an invoice row

Goal: Store an invoice number and amount produced by earlier steps.

Configuration:

Table: Invoices
Invoice number: Invoice Number variable
Amount: Total Amount variable

Result: Flowifier creates one row and exposes its Row ID, Row, and created status.
