Streamlining Updates for Multiple Clay Tables with Shared Template

Teddy · 2025-03-05T18:37:10.374397+00:00

I have ~20 different Clay tables that all follow the same template they just have 1-2 unique client specific columns each. My problem is that if I have to make an update to something that is common across all 20 tables I have to individually go and make the change it in every table. Is there a way to avoid this?

Yes, there's a way to update common elements across multiple Clay tables efficiently. We offer a feature called "write to table" that can help streamline this process. Here's how you can use it: 1. Set up the "write to table" action to transfer data between tables. 2. Use column mapping to mirror common data from one table to others. 3. Enable auto-update to automatically process new data coming in. This approach allows you to make changes in one central table and automatically update the common elements across your other tables, saving time and ensuring consistency.
