Objects and Record types

Understanding how data is stored on jestor

Objects and record types

A summary of your tables

Objects and record types is the first section of the developer area and the default page when accessing it. It lists all tables in your Jestor, with information about each table and the means to create low-code automations.

List of tables in a Jestor account

The list shows each table's display name on the left and its API/trigger name on the right. For example, the table Colors are Fun is referenced as colors_are_fun in automations and integrations.

Viewing table fields

Click on a table name to see all its fields, along with their API/trigger names and field types.

Fields on the Colors are Fun table

In the example above, the Colors are Fun table has a field called "Name", with API/trigger name name and type text.

Creating a trigger (automation)

At the bottom of each table's page is the Triggers section, where you can create automations activated by events on that specific table — for example, when a record is created.

The Triggers section

To create an automation:

  1. Click + Create trigger
  2. Name your automation to reflect what it does
  3. Press Create
