Hi guys,
great to be here on board.
I have created a csv file from some data in pipedream - I’d love to get/download it somehow to my local machine. Does anyone have an idea how to achieve this?
(FYI: uploading it to GDrive doesn’t work as I it ruins some of the options that I have set)
Thanks for any help
Hi Carl - good question. You could use the built in $.send.email helper to send yourself an email with the CSV as an attachment.
Or you could add an HTTP trigger to your workflow to retrieve the CSV file stored in /tmp and return it in an HTTP response.
But I would recommend uploading it to a static file host like S3, Dropbox or Google Cloud. It’s just much easier to maintain a catalog.
Hi ,
Thanks for getting back to me. 
Email sounds interesting: How does the attachment work exactly? Couldn’t find that in the → docs.
Carl - CSV is a plain text format, with some convention such as comma to separate values, 1st row may have column names, etc.
You can load the text into memory, say, a variable, and use that as the body of the email
I might have misremembered, sorry Carl. We can handle incoming email attachments, but you’re right I don’t think we have attachment support for outbound emails.
