Step Guide: CSV

Data & Files

Import CSV data for processing or export results as CSV

Overview

The CSV step handles importing data from CSV files and exporting workflow data back out as CSV. It supports two actions: Import and Export.

Import CSV

Parse a CSV file into a typed rows array for row-by-row processing. Upload a CSV via a Form step, and Import reads it into a structured list that a For Each step can iterate over.

  • Import a CSV of leads, products, or records to process row by row
  • Batch process uploaded spreadsheet data through AI or calculation steps
  • Transform CSV data by importing, processing, then exporting back to CSV

Takes a CSV file uploaded in a previous step (typically from a Form step with a file upload field) and parses it. Define your output fields to match the columns you want to extract. Returns a list of items and a row count. Connect the output to a For Each step to process rows individually. Maximum 5,000 rows.

Tips
  • Maximum list size is 5,000 rows

Export CSV

Generate a downloadable CSV file from a rows array. Place after a Collect step to export aggregated loop results, or after any step that produces a list.

  • Export processed results as a CSV for download or sharing
  • Generate a delivery report after an email campaign
  • Create a CSV backup of workflow output data

Takes a list from input (typically from a Collect step after a loop). Generates a CSV file and uploads it. Returns a downloadable CSV file with metadata (file name, size, and row count).

Tips
  • Connect the CSV file to a Send Email attachments field to email the generated CSV
