Component description
How the CSV Output component works
The Csv Output component is designed to convert structured data into a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file format. It is particularly useful in AI workflows where processed data or results need to be exported, shared, or stored in a widely compatible and human-readable format.
What the Component Does
This component takes input data—typically a list of records or objects—and transforms it into a CSV file. This file can be easily downloaded, shared, or integrated with other tools that support CSV format. The component is especially handy for summarizing results, exporting datasets, or preparing data for downstream processes that require CSV input.
Inputs
| Input Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data | Data | Yes | The structured data to be converted into CSV. This should be a list of records or objects. |
- trace_as_metadata: When enabled, traces data as metadata for easier debugging or tracking.
- list: The input expects a list (array) as the data format.
- Display Name: Data
- Info: Data to be turned to CSV.
Outputs
| Output Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Message | Message | Contains the generated CSV as a response payload. |
- The output is marked as a Message, which typically wraps the CSV file data for further use in your workflow.
- The output is hidden from direct display but can be used by downstream components.
Why Use This Component?
