Hi there, are there any ways to insert a document using aggregation pipeline?

I am not sure of your use-case but you could take a look at

Hi @steevej , I am pretty much looking for a aggregation pipeline substitution of db.collection().insert() function

That is what $merge is about. It insert documents, created by the execution of an aggregation, into a target collection.

An alternative is $out.

Why can’t you just use insert? Can you elaborate on the functionality you need? Rather than $merge I suspect you probably want to use update with upsert flag set to true and aggregation pipeline syntax to specify the update (available since version 4.2).
