Insert Data

Insert data into a column in a Table or a Variable.

Select Storage Location

  • Tables: Select the column to store the value in when choosing a table for data storage.
  • Variables: Enter the name of the variable to insert data into.

Inserted Value

The value to insert can be a specific value, table, variable, profileId, profileName, globalData, or the result of a function like increment, etc.

Insert Value into Variable

Store a value in a variable, typically during initialization. If the variable already contains data, the new value overwrites it. For array variables, the new value is appended as a new element instead of overwriting.

Insert Value into Table

Insert a value into an existing table.

Import File

Insert the content of a file into a variable or table column. After pasting the file path, you can select Preview data to view the file content. Additionally, you can choose the Read as Base64 option to encode the text into Base64 format.

In the value text field, you can enter the absolute file path or URL of the file. Examples:

  • Absolute Path
    • Windows: C:\Users\Public\Documents\testing.docx
    • MacOS: /Users/Josh/Desktop/docs.pdf
  • URL
    • https://example.com/files/document.pdf
    • https://example.com/words.txt
