Update record action

The Update record action updates a record you specify in a data table. Use the remove values from a record action instead if you plan to remove a value from a column.

Input

Input fields	Description
Data table	Select the data table in which you plan to update a record. Click the link in this field's description to view the selected data table in the Data tables interface.
Record ID	Provide the ID of the record that you plan to update. You can input a Record ID datapill or enter a static value from the data table's Record ID column, which is hidden by default.
Choose the desired output format	Optional. Specify how to map the updated record data to the table fields. Refer to the Output formats section for more information.

ADDITIONAL INPUT FIELDS

The Update record fields with new inputs section contains an input field for each column of the selected data table. Use these input fields to specify the values to update the record with. If you leave a field empty, Workato does not update the corresponding column.

These input fields are subject the same restrictions as their corresponding columns, for example:

• If a column is required, its corresponding field is also required.
• The value you provide must match the corresponding column's data type. For instance, text columns only accept alphanumeric characters. Refer to Column types for detailed information on the accepted values for each data type.
