How do I upsert a row in Supabase?
Short answer: You can upsert row in Supabase by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Supabase Upsert 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
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Table Name table | string | Required | Table Name. Example: users |
Row Data (JSON) data | string | Required | Must include the primary key or unique column for conflict resolution |
On Conflict Column on_conflict | string | Optional | Column to match for upsert (typically the primary key) |
Sample request
{"table": "e.g. users","data": "{\"id\": 1, \"name\": \"John\", \"email\": \"john@example.com\"}","on_conflict": "e.g. id"}
Returns
[{"id": 1,"name": "John","email": "john@example.com"}]
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about Upsert Row.
What does the Upsert Row action do in Supabase?
Inserts a row, or updates it if a conflict occurs on the primary key or a unique constraint. The right tool for idempotent sync flows from another source-of-truth system.
What inputs does Upsert Row require?
Required: Table 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 Supabase returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Supabase 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 Upsert Row support batch operations?
Run Upsert 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 Supabase's rate limits.
More actions
Other Supabase actions.
Action
Call Function (RPC)
Calls a Postgres function (RPC) defined in your Supabase database with the supplied JSON arguments. The escape hatch when typed table operations don't express the business logic you need.
ActionDelete Rows
Deletes rows from a Supabase table that match a filter (eq, neq, gt, in, like, etc.). PostgREST requires at least one filter, so empty filters are rejected as a safety guard.
ActionInsert Row
Inserts a new row into a Supabase table with the supplied field values. Respects table RLS policies based on the API key in use.
ActionSelect Rows
Selects rows from a Supabase table with optional filters, order, and limit. Supports joined selects via the PostgREST embed syntax (e.g. *, author(name)).
ActionList Tables
Lists all tables in a Supabase database (from the public schema) with their column metadata. Used to dynamically populate table pickers and column dropdowns.
ActionUpdate Rows
Updates rows in a Supabase table that match a filter. PostgREST requires at least one filter, so empty filters are rejected to prevent accidental table-wide updates.
