Overview

When Genesis creates an app, it automatically generates database projects that serve as your app's data layer. Those databases are perfect for apps like:

Customer portals with client data and project history
Booking systems with appointments and customer records
Inventory apps with product catalogs and stock levels
CRM applications with leads, contacts, and sales data

💡 Note: Database projects default to the Table view for easy data management, but you can switch between views at any time.

Using Database Projects

Genesis apps use database projects for:

Smart data structure automatically created based on your app's needs
Real-time synchronization between your app interface and database
AI-powered insights from agents trained on your data
Automated workflows that respond to the actions within the app

Your workspaces and project become the single source of truth.

Data Management

Genesis-Generated Databases

When you create an app, Genesis automatically builds the required projects:

Describe your app needs to Genesis in plain English.
Genesis analyzes your requirements and generates projects to store data.
Custom fields and relationships are automatically configured.
Your app launches with a fully functional database backend

You can also request a specific data structure in your prompts:

"Create a yoga studio booking app with a customer database, class schedule database, and instructor database."

"Build a client portal for our agency with a client database, project database, and invoice database."

"Make an inventory management system with a product database, supplier database, and order database."

Manual Database Creation

Here's how to add new database projects to existing apps:

Open your app in Taskade
Click + New Project within the app's dashboard view.
Choose a template, ask Taskade to generate a project, or start blank.
Configure custom fields inside the project.
Ask Genesis to connect to connect the database to the app.

Importing Data into App Databases

Transform existing business data into app-ready databases:

Navigate to your app's dashboard.
Got to Projects → Import → Import CSV.
Upload your file (CSV, Excel, Google Sheets).
Ask Genesis to use connect the database and adjust the custom fields.

App Database Automation

Automated App Workflows

Your app's database projects can trigger intelligent workflows.

For example, you can prompt Genesis in the chat to create:

Booking App Automations

When appointment status → "Confirmed" → Send reminder email
When new booking → Created → Notify staff and block calendar
When payment → "Received" → Update booking status and send receipt

CRM App Automations

When lead score → Above 80 → Assign to sales rep and create follow-up task
When deal stage → "Proposal Sent" → Set 7-day follow-up reminder
When client → "Inactive for 30 days" → Trigger re-engagement campaign

Inventory App Automations

When stock level → Below minimum → Create purchase order
When new product → Added → Update catalog and notify sales team
When order → "Shipped" → Send tracking info to customer

These are just a handful of examples of what can be accomplished with automation flows. Experiment, try different approaches, and build your perfect setup!
