Tables
Tables are your own structured data stores that workflows can read from and write to — think of them as simple, typed spreadsheets that live inside Arketic. A workflow might collect leads into a table, look up a record, or update a status.
The Tables Tab
Open Workflows → Tables. On the left is your list of tables; the main area shows the selected table's rows.
Creating a Table
- Click New
- Enter a Name (e.g. "leads")
- Add columns — each has a name and a type:
| Type | For |
|---|---|
| string | Text |
| number | Numbers |
| boolean | True / false |
| date | Dates |
| json | Structured data |
- Click Create table
Every table starts with a required title column. Use + Add column for more.
Adding and Editing Rows
- Click Add row to create a new record
- Click any cell to edit it inline
Values are checked against the column type. If a value doesn't fit — text in a number column, for example — you'll get a clear message like "must be a number" and the change is rejected. Delete a row with the trash icon.
Using a Table in a Workflow
Tables connect to workflows through dedicated blocks:
| Block | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Table — Insert Row | Add a new row |
| Table — Query Rows | Find rows that match a filter |
| Table — Get Row | Fetch a single row |
| Table — Update Row | Change an existing row |
In each block, pick the table from the Table field. AI agents can also use your tables as tools.
Create the table first, then reference it from your workflow blocks.
Tips
- Choose the right column types — they keep your data clean and catch mistakes early
- Name tables and columns clearly — you'll reference them from workflow blocks
- Keep tables focused — one table per kind of record (leads, tickets, etc.)
