How do I update a NocoDB row?
Short answer: You can update nocodb row in NocoDB by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the NocoDB Update NocoDB 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.
Inputs

Row ID rowId | string | Required | Row ID. Example: 1 |
Update Data (JSON) data | string | Required | Update Data (JSON). e.g. "{"Status": "Active"}" |
Sample request
{"tableId": "e.g. tbl_abc123","rowId": "e.g. 1","data": "{\"Status\": \"Active\"}"}

FAQ
Questions about Update NocoDB Row.
What does the Update NocoDB Row action do in NocoDB?
Partial update — only passed fields change. For "external event → update specific row field" sync patterns.
What inputs does Update NocoDB Row require?
Required: Table ID, Row ID, Update 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 NocoDB returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message NocoDB 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 Update NocoDB Row support batch operations?
Run Update NocoDB 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 NocoDB's rate limits.
