Sending Data Between Tables Without Overwriting

To append data to a destination table while preserving existing data:

  1. Use the Send table data action to transfer data from your source table to the destination table
  2. In the mapping step, double-click each field to map it to existing columns in the destination table
  3. Configure the advanced settings:
    • Enable "Map to existing columns"
    • Disable "Auto-extract new columns"

Important Notes

  • This approach appends new rows without modifying existing ones
  • Clay automatically protects manually entered data in existing columns from being overwritten
  • Clay will only auto-map to columns that contain formulas
