Using the Generate Text Action
The Generate Text action sends a message to Claude and returns the AI-generated response.
The action can be added to a Component that supports Actions (e.g., a Button component), added to a workflow in the Workflow Editor, or in the Data Editor as a Computed Column.
In the Data Editor
Open the table where you want to use the Generate Text action.
Add a new column by clicking the (+) plus symbol to the right of the table.
New columns added with the plus button will always appear on the right. If you'd like to add a column somewhere else in your data, you can select the dropdown menu on an existing column and choose Add column right. You can also click and drag columns to rearrange them.
Name your column.
