Upsert
A database operation that inserts a new record if it doesn't exist, or updates it if it does. Critical in sync workflows rather than checking for existence first (two API calls), an upsert does it in one. Prevents duplicates and handles updates automatically.
How PURIST uses this
This concept is built into every automation we deploy.
When PURIST builds your automation, Upsert is not an optional consideration it is part of the production standard. Our workflows are tested against edge cases, monitored 24/7, and built to handle what happens when things don't go as expected.
Every client workflow we deploy in the Data category is designed with this principle in mind from day one not added as an afterthought.
Complexity level
Requires some familiarity with automation concepts.
