• Creates new records in your tables with the fields you specify
• Updates existing records with new information or status changes
• Deletes records you no longer need
• Lists all your bases and shows table structures to help you navigate your data

Google Sheets

• Reads data from any Google Sheet you have access to
• Writes new rows, updates cells, or clears ranges
• Applies formatting like bold headers, background colors, and auto-resized columns
• Creates new spreadsheets and adds new sheets to existing ones
• Sorts data, adds filters, and performs batch updates across multiple ranges
