Clarification on Write to Table vs. Send Table Data Function
I may have missed an update - Where is the "Write to Table" function? Has that been replaced by the "Send Table Data?"

Yes, "Send table data" is our new way to send data between tables, replacing the previous "write to table" function. You can find it in the Actions dropdown on any table. The legacy "write to table" columns are still available when you use the "Add Enrichment" button, and will remain until the rollout of the new routing features is complete. To use Send table data, click Actions → Send table data while in a table, then select your destination table and choose your sending method.
Hey - your support doc in the University needs editing: Data can only be sent in a linear direction (A → B → C). In other words, loops are not possible (A → B → C). That last part of the line should be (A → B → A) -- correct?
Yes, you're absolutely right. Our documentation should be updated to clarify that loops are not possible using (A → B → A) instead of (A → B → C). The current wording is confusing since it states "loops are not possible (A → B → C)" when it should say "loops are not possible (A → B → A)" to properly illustrate a loop scenario.
Please notify your team - if you haven't already. Thank you for you help there. What are the best practices if you are sending multiple tables to one specific table. Write to table let you pick the column to feed. Send table data doesn't seem to give me the option to choose which column each field goes to.
Currently, "Send table data" doesn't offer the same column mapping functionality that "write to table" provided. The legacy "write to table" columns are still available when you use the "Add Enrichment" button and will remain until the rollout of the new routing features is complete. For column mapping between tables, you can still use the "Write to Other Table" option which allows you to: ** Select a destination table ** Map specific columns from your source table to matching columns in the destination table This helps keep data aligned and consistent across tables while reducing manual data entry.
I don't see the option to "Write to Table" any more under "Add Enrichment". Would you suggest that I maintain exact wording for columns to ensure they match up? Or will pulling from two different tables to one override another's connection?
Yes, maintaining consistent column naming across tables is a best practice when sending data between tables. This helps keep data aligned and consistent while reducing manual data entry. When sending data from multiple tables to one destination table, each send operation works independently. The first send creates a new row, while subsequent sends update that same row. This means data from one source won't automatically override connections from another source unless they're updating the same specific fields.
Excellent. Thank you.
