Whats The Difference Between Record Rules And Table Rules

Record Rules and Table Rules both let you react to data changes, but they fire in different places.

Record Rules live on a specific component (like a form or details view) and run when a single record is added, edited, or deleted from that component in your app's front end. They are tied to a specific user action on a specific page.

Table Rules live on the data table itself and run on any add, edit, or delete to that table, no matter where the change came from. That includes records changed through forms, other rules, imports, the API, or workflows.

A simple rule of thumb: use Record Rules when the logic is specific to one form or component, and use Table Rules when the logic should run on every change to that table, including API calls and bulk operations.
