Bring contacts or companies in from a tool you already use. Oneprofile shows you real sample rows first, so you can see what comes back before you make the table.
The Import from a tool drawer showing a Tool and an Object dropdown, chips counting the object's fields and how it reloads, Table name and Rows to import fields, a Match rows on dropdown, a Sample rows table, and an Output list of fields with checkboxes.

The import drawer, with a tool and an object picked.

Add rows from a connected tool

1

Open the drawer

On Tables, choose the Import from a tool card. You can also click New and pick the same item.
2

Pick a connection and an object

Choose a Tool, then an Object to bring in, such as contacts or companies.
3

Set it up and create the table

Work through the drawer’s fields below, then click Create table.
  • Sample rows holds a few real rows pulled from that object. Every tool means something different by “contact”, so this is worth a look.
  • Table name is filled in from the tool and the object. Change it to whatever you will recognise later.
  • All rows brings in everything. Pick First and enter a number, such as 100, to bring in fewer.
  • Match rows on picks the field a later refresh uses to find each row.
  • Output decides which fields become their own columns.
You keep the whole object either way. A field you left unchecked is one click from becoming a column later, straight from the row. A file import is a one-off. Importing from a connected tool keeps a link back to it. That is why the drawer refuses an object with no field to match rows on: a later refresh could not tell which row to update.
If nothing is connected yet, the drawer shows Connect a tool instead. Search the directory and connect from there, without leaving the drawer.

Good to know

You keep the whole object either way. Checked fields also get a column of their own, and everything else stays one click away when you open the row.Oneprofile suggests a few fields and lists them first, already checked. Change them freely. A long field list gets a Filter fields box above it.
Once the sample rows arrive, a chip counts the fields the object carries. A second chip says how this object reloads.Only loads what changed means later runs bring in just the differences. Reloads everything each time means they bring in the whole object again.
Match rows on lists the ID fields the sample rows carry, with the tool’s own ID picked for you. Each option says how many sample rows have it and whether the tool can change it.A field the tool sets never changes, so it is the safe choice. If you match on a field people can edit, such as an email, changing it in the tool adds a new row.
Some objects carry no field to match rows on. The drawer says so and blocks the import, because a refresh could not tell which row to update. Pick a different object.
The drawer only lists tools it can pull rows from, so a connection of another kind never appears. It tells you when that has happened: “Your new tool can’t be imported from yet, so it isn’t listed here.”
