Record families

conversation
A channel or direct conversation holds posts. A thread groups replies under one root post.
item
An object in the shared tree, such as a project, task, topic or milestone.
field
A typed declaration with a stable id. Values belong to items; a field name is not its id.
pin
A reference placing a record on an item. A pin organises a record; it grants no access.
connection
A project’s standing connection to a workflow, with board inputs and card input and output bindings.
rule
A trigger, its conditions and its actions on a board.
note
Long text retained as versions within a conversation.
canvas
A named board with shapes and versioned changes.
huddle
A live conversation with a durable transcript and attendance.

Names and ids

A display label can change while its declaration id remains stable. Use item, field, option, connection and record ids from a current read. For a topic path, resolve the path before relying on it as a location.

Versions and ownership

Notes name a head version when saving. Workflow output fields name their source. Automated run records identify the workflow and run that produced them. These references prevent a similarly named object from standing in for the one actually read.
