# Insert record Inserting a record on your table means that you will create a new row on your table. This means that you'll go from this: | FullName | Email | | -------- | ----- | | | | To that: | FullName | Email | | ---------- | ---------------------- | | **Agatha** | **** | ## Insert a record To insert a record on your table: 1. Make sure that you created a table with the appropriate structure. For this example, we will use a lead generation table that captures: * **FullName:** Captures the lead's full name. * **Email:** Stores the lead's email address.

2. Make sure that you capture the relevant variables in your conversation. In our example, we capture the user name and email in [Collect input](https://docs.chatlayer.ai/buildabot/flow-logic/dialog-state/user-input-bot-dialog) blocks. These are the variables that we want to add to our lead generation table, i.e. `customer_name` and `customer_email`. 3. [Add a Table operation](https://docs.chatlayer.ai/bot-answers/tables-beta/perform-operations-on-your-records#add-a-table-operation-to-your-flow) to your flow.

4. Select **Insert Record.**

Select the Insert record table operation

5. Select the table that you'd like to work on. For this example, we called our table **Lead generation**.

6. To recall, our example lead generation table has 2 columns: `FullName` and `Email`. Under **Operation Config**, link the **FullName** field to be populated with the variable {`customer_name}.` 7. Do the same for **Email** and {customer\_email}.

8. Click **Save**. 9. Test your bot in the emulator. Run through your bot flow within the emulator to simulate the user experience and trigger the **Insert record** action.

10. After testing, navigate to your table to confirm that the lead's information has been accurately recorded and stored.
