MongoDB Atlas - Insert documents action ​

This action inserts a batch of documents with a fixed structure into a MongoDB Collection. When we say "fixed", we mean that you know all the possible fields a document can have.

Note: If any of the following are true, use the Replicate documents action instead:

  • The documents' schema is flexible or unknown, or
  • You want to update existing records
