Not every automation needs an external database. Data Tables in n8n let you store data right inside the platform — perfect for prompt history, simple logs or configuration dictionaries.

What you will learn

  • How to create a Data Table in n8n and design its columns.
  • How to add records to the table from a workflow.
  • How to save prompts from a chat node and build your own dataset from them.
  • When Data Tables are enough and when an external database is the better choice.

The practical example from the episode

I build a simple workflow: a user types in chat, and every prompt is stored as a new Data Table record. That query history later comes in handy for analysis, building FAQs or crafting better prompts.
