Understanding the Shift from Write to Other Table to Send Data to Table

Has the "Write to other table" function been replaced by "Send data to table"? If so, how can I match specific columns, like I would when importing a CSV file?

Yes, "Send table data" is our new way to send data between tables, replacing the legacy "write to table" function. The legacy option is still available when you use "Add Enrichment, " but we're transitioning to the new routing features. To match specific columns: 1. Click "Actions" → "Send table data" 2. Select your destination table 3. Choose "Send row" 4. Select which columns to send to the other table 5. Click "Save" This lets you transfer specific columns while keeping your data aligned across tables.

Currently, the "Send table data" feature doesn't have the same column mapping functionality as CSV imports. When using "Send table data, " you can only select which columns to send to the destination table. For column mapping similar to CSV imports, you'll need to use the legacy "write to table" function: 1. Add an enrichment 2. Select "write to table" 3. Choose your destination table 4. Enter "/" to skip list selection 5. Map your source columns to destination columns This allows you to match specific data fields between tables, similar to CSV imports.

No, the "write to table" function hasn't been deprecated. It's still available when you use the "Add Enrichment" button. "Send table data" is our new way to send data between tables, and it appears in the Actions dropdown. We're keeping the legacy "write to table" option available until the rollout of these new routing features is complete.

Hey Nicolas, thanks for reaching out! Our 'Write to Other Table' feature has been replaced by the 'Send Table Data' action, which you can find under your table’s 'Actions' menu. It works in a very similar way. You can find more details on how it works here: 📘 Send Table Data Guide 🎥 Video walkthrough Let me know if you have more questions
