Run an INSERT query on a table in SharpenDB.

Adds a new row to a SharpenDB table. Choose the table and set each field's value — values can reference `$(name)` variables to store data gathered during the run. Any data returned by the insert can be captured into variables by JSONPath. The flow takes `default` when the insert succeeds. A query SharpenDB does not answer within 20 seconds takes `timeout`, or `fallback` when `timeout` is not wired. The node's Timeout field is not applied: it does not change that 20-second limit.

**Category:** Data  
**Provider:** Sharpen  
**Requires integration:** sharpen  
**Latest version:** 1.0.0

## Fields

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Table (`table`) | dynamicDropdown | Yes | The table to insert to. |
| Fields (`fields`) | dynamicDropdown | No | The columns to insert data into. The values field must provide a value for each selected column. |
| Values (`values`) | object | No | Field-value pairs to insert into the row. Keys must match the selected field names. |
| Variables (`variables`) | array of objects | No | Save variables from the data returned. |
| Timeout (`timeout`) | number | No | Not applied yet: SharpenDB queries always wait up to 20 seconds, whatever this is set to. |

## Exits

- `default` (required)
- `timeout` (required)
- `invalidInput` (system)
- `fallback` (system)

System exits (auto-injected, hidden when unwired): `invalidInput`, `fallback`.
