To copy all columns from table A to table B using write to table with validation: 1. Select your Clay account and choose the destination table 2. Enter "/" to skip list selection since you're doing column mapping, not list mapping 3. Map out columns - select the columns you want to copy from the source table and match them to appropriate columns in the destination table 4. Configure run settings - use "Only run if" to set your specific validation conditions. This allows you to control when the action runs based on specific data fields being filled This column mapping approach transfers specific columns between tables while keeping data aligned and consistent. The validation happens through the conditional run settings rather than column selection.
but it would requiqred to do it manually, there are many columns?
For bulk column copying without manual mapping, use Send table data instead of write to table:
1. Click Actions → Send table data
2. Select destination table
3. Choose Send row method
4. This transfers all columns automatically without individual mapping
This approach sends each row as-is to another table, letting you transfer data without manually selecting each column.
Hey Eryk L. If you want to copy all columns from Table A to Table B with a specific validation in one column and avoid manual mapping, use Send Table Data instead of Write to Other Table 1. Add a filter step first to keep only rows that pass your validation 2. In Table A, click Actions → Send Table Data 3. Select the destination table (Table B) and choose Send Row. This will transfer every column automatically for the filtered rows, without you having to map each one manually
Exactly right! Send table data is the perfect solution for bulk column copying with validation. The approach you outlined works perfectly: 1. Filter rows first to meet your validation criteria 2. Use Actions → Send table data → Send row method 3. This automatically transfers all columns without manual mapping This method sends each row as-is to another table, letting you transfer data without manually selecting each column.
thats cool, is it new feature?
Send table data isn't specifically described as a "new" feature in our documentation. It's designed to route records between tables, making multi-table setups simple to manage. The "Send row" method sends each row as-is to another table, which is useful for filtering, segmenting data, or separating logic across multiple tables while letting you transfer specific columns and keeping your data aligned. When was the last time you checked our feature updates or documentation?
It’s not new, just underrated most people miss it because they use “Write to Other Table” instead
