Create new records in NocoDB tables as part of your workflows.

Use the **Create Record** action node in NocoDB workflows to create new records in a specified table. Use this node to add data that depends on the logic and inputs of the workflow.

### Configuration

* **Table**: Select the table for the new record.
* **Fields**: Click **Add Field** to specify the fields and their values for the new record. You can use static values or map data from previous nodes in the workflow.

### How it works

* When the workflow gets to the Create Record node, the node creates a new record in the selected table. The record gets the defined field values.
* Sometimes the node cannot find a mapped field on the table any more. For example, the field was deleted after the workflow was published. Then the node skips that field and writes a warning with the field name in the [execution logs](/docs/workflows/execution-logs). It creates the record with the other fields.
* Later nodes in the workflow can use the data of the new record.

### Use cases

* Automatically add new entries from user input or external data sources.
* Create related records in different tables in a multi-step process.
* Add new records to logs or audit trails when specific actions occur in the workflow.

## Availability

* Available on NocoDB Cloud (all plans) and licensed on-premise deployments.
