Table

Read, write, and query data in Zygo’s built-in data tables

The Table node interacts with Zygo’s built-in data tables — a simple, schema-optional key-value store scoped to your tenant. Use it to persist data between flow runs, store records, look up values, or maintain state.

​

When to Use It

• Saving form submissions or API responses for later reference
• Looking up records to enrich data in your flow
• Maintaining a running log of events or transactions
• Building a simple database for your workflows without an external service
• Tracking state across multiple flow executions (e.g., “last synced at”)

​

Operations

The Table node supports several operations depending on what you need:

Insert

Add a new record to a table.

Configuration:

Field	Description
Table Name	The table to insert into. Created automatically if it doesn’t exist.
Record Key	Optional. A string key for looking up this record later.
Data	The data to store, as a JSON object. Supports template syntax.

Example data:

{
  "name": "{{1_Form.form_data.name}}",
  "email": "{{1_Form.form_data.email}}",
  "submitted_at": "{{1_Form.form_data.timestamp}}",
  "source": "contact_form"
}

Update

Update an existing record by its ID or key.

Configuration:

Field	Description
Table Name	The table containing the record
Record ID or Key	Identify which record to update
Data	The new data (replaces existing data)

Query

Look up records from a table.

Configuration:

Field	Description
Table Name	The table to query
Record Key	Optional. Filter by a specific key
Limit	Maximum number of records to return

Returns the matching records as an array.

Delete

Remove a record from a table by ID.

Configuration:

Field	Description
Table Name	The table containing the record
Record ID	The ID of the record to delete

​

Table Schemas

Tables in Zygo are schema-optional. You can insert any JSON object without defining columns first. However, defining a schema gives you:

• A structured view in the data tables UI
• Column names and types visible when browsing records
• Validation when editing records manually

To manage schemas, go to Data Tables in the sidebar and click on a table’s schema settings.

​

Output

The Table node’s output varies by operation:

Operation	Output
Insert	{ "success": true, "action": "insert", "table": "...", "id": "...", "key": "...", "data": {...} }
Update	{ "ok": true, "record": {...} }
Query	{ "table": "...", "total": 5, "records": [...] }
Delete	{ "ok": true }

Reference these in downstream nodes:

New record ID: {{2_Table.id}}
First queried name: {{2_Table.records[0].data.name}}
Total matches: {{2_Table.total}}

​

Common Patterns

Log every form submission

Connect a Table node after a Web Form to persist every submission:

• Operation: Insert
• Table Name: form_submissions
• Record Key: {{1_Form.form_data.email}}
• Data: {{1_Form.form_data}}

This creates a searchable log of all submissions, keyed by email for easy lookup.

Deduplication check

Before processing a webhook payload, check if you’ve already seen this event:

1. Table node (Query) — Look up by record key (e.g., the event’s unique ID)
2. Condition node — Check if records is empty
3. True (new) → Process the event, then insert a record
4. False (duplicate) → Skip

Store and retrieve configuration

Use a table as a simple config store:

• Table: config
• Key: email_settings
• Data: { "from": "[e-mail]", "footer": "..." }

A downstream Request node can reference:

{{2_Table.records[0].data.from}}

Running counter or state

Track cumulative state across flow runs:

1. Query the current counter record by key
2. Python node — Increment the value
3. Update the record with the new value

Useful for things like “total submissions this month” or “last processed order ID.”

Data tables are scoped to your tenant. Different tenants have completely separate tables, even if the table names are the same.

Use descriptive table names and record keys. A table called customer_signups with keys like [e-mail] is much easier to debug than data1 with auto-generated keys.
