How do I create a record in a Bubble app database?

Short answer: You can create database object in Bubble by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Bubble Create Database Object action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Create Database Object.

What does the Create Database Object action do in Bubble?
Creates a record in a Bubble Data Type — the app's database. Requires the Bubble type's privacy rule to allow external API creation. The standard hook for "push customer data from CRM into the Bubble-built app" workflows.
What inputs does Create Database Object require?
Required: Name. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Bubble returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Create Database Object support batch operations?
Yes. Run Create Database Object inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Bubble's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
