In the context of flow automation, the Data Hub acts as your built-in data management center. It allows you to store and route data directly inside your flows without needing to set up an external database.

It typically operates through two main tools:

Data Hub Storage

An in-flow, operational database used to temporarily hold, update, and manage records while your automated flow runs.

Data Hub Mapper

A transformation tool used for lookup mapping, retrieve, format, and map data from your connected external systems.

Data Hub Storage

Data Hub Storage allows you to store, retrieve, and manage data within your flow. Use it as a temporary database to store records during flow execution.
