After you create the table, give it a name and create the fields you want they can be (Text, Number or Date), you can go to your flow and start automating using by using the Tables piece.
It’s fantastic to see yet another feature aimed at making automation more seamless. The introduction of Tables feels like a fantastic upgrade, particularly for those who need a simpler way to organise and access their data. It’s clear that, as always, you’ve taken user feedback on board, putting in the effort to refine the “Storage” piece and making it far more user-friendly. This update truly seems like a clever way to streamline processes.
I’m genuinely excited to see how this feature will shape the overall experience. A big thank you for your ongoing commitment to refining ActivePieces – it certainly doesn’t go unnoticed!
Keep up the fantastic work!
EDIT:
One thing that immediately jumps out is that it would be nice (which I guess you probably have planned in the works anyway), if we could simply populate the table data by pasting from Google/Excel Sheets (or other table like software).
Currently, I can see it being a bit cumbersome having to add every entry 1 by 1 manually, especially if we have 100s/1000s of records to input.
(Note that I don’t, but I figured why not use and extreme case for example purposes)
I get we can probably set up a flow to retrieve this data from a Sheet/table to populate the tables inside of ActivePieces, but it would be nice to have an option for offline documents too. (e.g. - excel)
I mean if we are just adding data to it from a flow, then it shouldn’t matter so much, but if we wanted to read that data, it might make more sense. I gather this would replace the need for things like Google Sheets, and Excel as well as storage pieces? Or is the idea here to make these limited and still only store data to then port across to another table like software?
You can enter a space in the Google Sheet Find Rows node for What to Search, and set rows to return to something like 10,000 (or however many you know you want to collect) and then pass over to AP’s Tables node.
the more feedback the faster it goes out of beta!
