How to use Data Tables in n8n?

  1. Navigate to Resources → Data Tables

  2. Create a new table with schema (e.g., id, name, email)

  3. Use the Data Table node in workflows:

    • Insert, Update, and Delete records

    • Query & filter data

  4. Connect to Gmail, Slack, Twilio, or AI nodes

Pros

  • Native feature (no DB required)

  • Easy to manage & share across workflows

  • Good for prototyping & automation logs

  • Reduces dependency on external services

Cons

  • Limited compared to SQL/Mongo (no joins, no complex queries)

  • Not ideal for very large datasets

  • Still evolving (new feature in n8n)
