Create Delimited File Flow Step

Use the Create Delimited File flow step to create a file from tabular data.

This step is commonly preceded by a Lookup step or parse step to get the data and followed by a Connector Action step to send the file to its destination.

Step Inputs

In the Edit Step menu, you can add details about the step configuration as needed for your flow.

Step Detail

• Filename: Required. Enter the name of the file you are creating. This can be static or dynamic, based on available data (e.g. date, flow data, or step data).

• Include Header Row: Enable this to include a header row of your column names.

• Column Separator: Choose the character used to separate your values into columns (Comma, Hyphen, Pipe, or Tab).

• Line Ending: Enter your preferred line ending format: Unix (LF) or Windows (CRLF). If you are unsure or have no preference, you can leave the value as Unspecified.

Row Map

In the List field, enter an expression that evaluates to a list of JSON objects that define the data for your rows. This could be data from a previous Lookup or parse step.

Column Names

Specify the columns for your data. Entries can be added by selecting Add Item and removed by clicking the trash icon button. Note that the order of the entries will be the order the columns appear in your file. Each entry consists of these fields.

• Column Name: Enter the name of the column. This can be static or dynamic, based on available data (e.g. date, flow/step data, etc.). This will only be visible if you have Include Header Row turned on.

• Value: This is a pointer to the property name in the JSON. It will be mapped to the column name.

Step Output

The output of the step is a pointer which includes the file’s ID and URL.
