# NocoDB

- Use `flowbot nocodb` for capability `nocodb`. Prefer the workflows below; load [references/cli.md](references/cli.md) only when you need a flag or subcommand not covered here.

+ Use `flowbot nocodb` for capability `nocodb`.

+ **CLI root is `nocodb`** — do not invent `flowbot nocodb` unless cli.md lists it as an alias.

+ Prefer the workflows below; load [references/cli.md](references/cli.md) only when you need a flag or subcommand not covered here.

+ **JSON fields:** Use base-id / table-id / record-id strings from discover commands; `--fields` keys must match column titles.

## Setup

1. Ensure CLI auth: `flowbot login`

2. Set server via `FLOWBOT_SERVER_URL` or `--server-url`; optional `--profile`, `--debug` / `-d`

3. Prefer `-o json` when parsing results programmatically

+ 4. Destructive commands often need `-y` / `--yes` in non-interactive sessions — check cli.md

+ 5. Token scopes: `service:nocodb:read` / `service:nocodb:write`

## Workflows

### Discover bases and tables

When a user needs to find which base or table to use:

1. `flowbot nocodb bases`

2. `flowbot nocodb tables --base-id <base-id>`

3. `flowbot nocodb table --table-id <table-id>`

4. Summarize available tables and column titles before writing records.

### Read and write records

When a user wants to inspect or change rows in a table:

1. `flowbot nocodb records list --table-id <table-id>`

2. `flowbot nocodb records create --table-id <table-id> --fields '{"Title":"value"}'`

3. Use update/delete only with an explicit record-id; prefer -o json when parsing results.

## Troubleshooting

| Error | Fix |

|-------|-----|

| not logged in | `flowbot login` |

| server URL is required | set `FLOWBOT_SERVER_URL` or pass `--server-url` |

- | empty results | confirm server health and capability access scopes |

+ | permission denied / 403 | token missing service scopes (`service:nocodb:read` / `service:nocodb:write`) |

+ | hung waiting for confirm | pass `-y` when the command supports it (see cli.md) |

+ | empty results | provider not configured, wrong id/name, or empty dataset |

+ | unknown command | use `flowbot nocodb`, not the capability id as the CLI verb |
