The "write to table" feature has been updated. The old "Write to Other Table" is now deprecated and replaced with "Send table data."
To send data to your "Clay Businesses Scrape" table:
1.
Click Actions → Send table data while in your source table [1]
2.
Select "Clay Businesses Scrape" as your destination table
3.
Choose Send row method
4.
Map your columns (Company Name, # Employees, Industry, etc.) to the corresponding columns in the target table
5.
Click Save
If you're still having issues, try using Force Run in the table settings, or delete and recreate the affected column with fresh mapping.

Hey Garrett! Thanks for reaching out. Happy to help. To confirm, do you want to update existing rows with new data? That is, previously transferred fields (via the send table data integration)? To do this, you'll need to re-run previously updated rows with this setting enabled (see screenshot below). It looks like the destination table does not include any records from the source table and it's also missing a source column to indicate that the 'send table data" action was used. This would explain why existing rows are not being updated, because they no longer exist. Do you recall deleting any records or columns from the destination table?
