The Export to File component enables you to save any text-based data generated within your AI workflow to a file with a wide range of supported formats. This utility is essential for archiving, sharing, or further processing the outputs produced by your workflow.

What Does This Component Do?

This component takes textual data as input and writes it to a file. You can specify the desired file extension (such as .txt, .json, .csv, etc.) and optionally provide a custom file name.
