# Using tables in missions

Sydekyks user and operator guide. Check feature availability and release-specific installation requirements.

The Tables gadget gives missions full access to your data, both as steps and as triggers.

## ​Reading

- Find Records - search a table for the rows you want

- Get Record - fetch one by ID

## ​Writing

- Create Record(s) - add one or many

- Update Record - change an existing row

## ​Removing

- Delete Record(s) - remove one or many rows

- Clear Table - empty it while keeping the fields

## ​Managing

- Create Table, Delete Table, Download Table

## ​Starting a mission when data changes

Tables can also trigger a mission, which is usually the more interesting half:

 | Trigger | Fires when

 | New Record Created | A row is added

 | Record Updated | A row changes

 | Record Deleted | A row is removed

That means you can react to data instead of polling for it. Something writes a lead into a table, and enrichment starts on its own.

Splitting work across a table like this keeps each mission small. One mission collects, one reacts. Either can fail and be retried without redoing the other.
