Create entity record

Create entity record node for writing a new record to a Data Fabric entity from a Flow, without an Integration Service connection.

Creates a new record in a Data Fabric entity. This is a native Flow node — it doesn't require an Integration Service (IS) connection. It works with existing entities from the Data Fabric platform — both tenant and folder entities — and with entities defined in a VS Code solution. Refer to Entities in VS Code.

Configuration

FieldRequiredDescription
Data Fabric entityYesThe entity to create a record in. Select Refresh schema if the entity's fields changed since you added the node.
Field valuesYesSelect + Select fields to choose which fields to set, then provide a value for each selected field. At least one field value is required.

This node doesn't support the Error handling tab.

Output

The node's output mirrors all of the entity's fields — the fields and types vary by entity, and typically include the entity's standard system fields (such as Id, CreateTime, and CreatedBy) alongside your custom fields. Access them downstream as $vars.<nodeId>.output.<fieldName>.

Live reference behavior

The output is a live reference to the created record, not a stored copy of the values you wrote. Every expression, condition, or script that reads it re-reads the record at that moment, so it reflects any later change — no extra Query entity records node is needed. The LIVE QUERY chip in the schema tree marks outputs that behave this way.

For example, if this node creates a ticket with status Open and a later node sets that ticket to Closed, an expression reading $vars.<nodeId>.output.Status after that point returns Closed, not the Open value this node wrote.

Loop and data-transform collections are the exception. They read a snapshot of the record taken when the node ran.
