Available actions with ToolJet and CouchDB integration

ToolJet's integration with CouchDB supports various operations:

List records

Fetch all records from a specified database. You can include document details, apply sort order, and paginate results using limit and skip parameters.

Retrieve record

Retrieve a single document from the database by specifying its unique record ID. Returns the full document object, including metadata.

Create record

Insert new documents into your CouchDB database. Accepts an array of records in JSON format for bulk insertion.

Update record

Update an existing document using its record ID and revision ID. CouchDB uses revision control to manage document versions, so the _rev field must be included.

Delete record

Remove a document from the database by providing its record ID and revision ID. This operation ensures safe deletion with version tracking.

Find

Query documents using Mango (JSON-based) selectors. Ideal for filtering data with flexible conditions, fields, and indexes.
