How do I insert a row into a Coda table?

Short answer: You can insert row in Coda by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Coda Insert Row action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

  "table_id": "e.g. grid-abc123",
  "cells": "[{\"column\": \"Name\", \"value\": \"John\"}, {\"column\": \"Status\", \"value\": \"Active\"}]"

FAQ

Questions about Insert Row.

What does the Insert Row action do in Coda?

Inserts a new row with cell values addressed by column ID or name. Writes to formula columns are silently ignored — Coda recomputes formulas after insert. For the standard "external event → log to Coda" workflow.

What inputs does Insert Row require?

Required: Doc ID, Table ID or Name, Row Data (JSON). 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 Coda returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Coda returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Insert Row support batch operations?

Run Insert Row inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Coda's rate limits.
