Editing a Data storage

Now that you know what purpose Data storage serves and how to create one, let's go through the steps required to edit your Data storage.

There are a couple of things you can do with Data storage:

• rename Data storage,

• delete Data storage,

• create or store a new item in Data storage,

• delete items from Data storage,

• clear Data storage.

Some of the actions can be executed in the Storage tab, others in the flow builder. Alternatively, you can edit Data storage via API.

To give you a full context, let's see at all the components that can be used in the flow builder.

Data storage components

OnItemAdded This trigger starts the flow when there is a new item added to a Data storage

OnItemRemoved This trigger starts the flow when there is an item removed from a Data storage

OnItemUpdated This trigger starts the flow when there is an item updated in a Data storage

Clear This action clears all data in a Data storage

Find This action finds an item in a Data store that can be used further in a flow

Get This action gets an item from a Data store to be used in a flow

Remove This action removes an item from a Data storage

Set This action sets a new item to a Data storage (being one of the ways to create new items in a Data storage)

Besides that, you can do some manual edits in the Storage tab like renaming or deleting Data storage.
