### Settings

| Setting          | Description                                                                                                                                                     | [Parsed](/actions-and-operations/dynamic-parsing.md) |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Bot              | The bot that is providing collection access. The current bot is selected by default.                                                                            | :no\_entry:                                          |
| Collection       | The collection to be used for the action                                                                                                                        | :no\_entry:                                          |
| Save Mode        | Set whatever the save action should fully replace any data in the existing record or only update the specified fields                                           | :no\_entry:                                          |
| Record Unique Id | The unique id of the record to be deleted. If left empty,[ Filter Operations](/actions-and-operations/database/set-field-filter-value.md) will be used instead. | :white\_check\_mark:                                 |

### Remarks

This action alone does not produce any result. At least one [Field Operation](/actions-and-operations/database/set-field-value.md) must be attached for the action to be executed. Assuming we want to increase by 50 the cost of a product with a specific id, a complete Save Record action may look like the example below:&#x20;

![](/files/-M_bX-404YJjqwBwP9h9)

If no unique id is specified for the record or no record exist with the specified value, the Save Mode will be automatically set to replace whole record mode.

### Trigger

This action automatically triggers all of the [Set Field operations](/actions-and-operations/database/set-field-value.md) attached.

### Variables

This action produces the following variables after being triggered:

| Variable                   | Description                                                    |
| -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| last\_database\_object\_id | The unique id of the record that has been updated or inserted. |
