Hey hey! Can you drop the URL for your table here? (if applicable) 🫶 Don't worry, only admins will be able to open your table 😉

Great question, Taylor! The Lookup Record would be the best way to do this if you have a matching value in both tables. Here's a video and our docs page for Lookup Record!

Ahh, I see. Makes sense now! Maybe you wanted to duplicate the workflow, or if it's a column you can save as a template that would also work

Got it! Yep, usually duplicating tables is the best to keep and repeat a workflow, since it doesn't keep the data, allowing you to add fresh values.

Arturo O. after I have duplicated a table, how do I trigger the same workflow for data currently in a csv file?

Hey Stavrianos S., thanks for the inquiry!All that you would need to do is import the CSV file into the duplicated table and make sure that the necessary values for everything to run go to the corresponding columns. Let me know if you run into any issues!
