Look up

Integrations table_lookup

Find a row in one of your tables

Overview

The Look up node finds a single row in one of your tables using that table's key, and puts it into the conversation for later steps to use.

How It Works

  1. Pick a table. Only tables with a key can be looked up
  2. Provide a value for each of the table's key columns
  3. The conversation continues down Found or Not found

Branches

Not found is not an error. It is how you tell a returning customer apart from a new one.

Output Variable

A match publishes the row's values by column name, plus timestamps:

{{variable}}.<column name>
{{variable}}.created_at
{{variable}}.updated_at

Configuration Fields

Table table_key Required

The table to search, and a value for each of its key columns.

Output Variables

This node stores its output in a variable that can be referenced in subsequent nodes using the {{variable}} syntax.

{{variable}}.created_at string

When the row was first saved

{{variable}}.updated_at string

When the row was last saved
