What This Node Does

The Get Data node pulls rows from a connected table or Virtual Table into your Flow. It is the starting point of most Flows: it loads your source data so downstream nodes have something to work on. You can pick and reorder fields, or keep them all, and pre-filter rows before anything downstream runs.

​
When to Use This Node

Use the Get Data node when you want to:
  • Start a Flow from data you have already connected
  • Pull in a subset of fields instead of the full table
  • Narrow rows up front so later steps process less data
  • Reuse a Virtual Table produced by another Flow

​
Step-by-Step Usage Guide

1

Add Get Data

From the ”+ Add node” popover, search for “get data” and add it. Pick the connected table or Virtual Table you want to load.
The Get Data node modal with a searchable table picker on the left and a field selection list on the right.
2

Choose your fields

In the Fields step, keep all fields or select and reorder just the ones you need.
3

Filter the rows (optional)

Use the Filter step to narrow rows before they reach the rest of your Flow.
Get Data cards built on a connector or a Google Sheets / Excel source show a Refresh source data action so you can re-sync the latest rows without rebuilding the node.
Filtering and trimming fields here keeps everything downstream faster. Drop what you do not need as early as possible.
For shaping, grouping, or pivoting after you load data, reach for the Transform node.
