CSV Workflow

Hi, I need help with an issue when creating a workflow. I want to use a workflow to send some CSV files with data from a few of my tables by email to Zapier, but I’m having problems with the step that generates the CSV file. I always get the same error: “Upload failed with status code 403.”

Does anyone know what could be causing this? I’ve already tried everything I can think of: storing the file first in a column, setting the output file directly in the CSV generation step, but I can’t figure out what the problem is.


What column type are the csv files being stored in?

I have tried to store it in text and in url,

Which specific step is returning a 403 to you? Is it always the same step or does it vary?

Is always the same step

That is going to sound weird, but can you try the generate CSV from a User interactive workflow? I am thinking that there might be an issue when running from a backend workflow (like schedule trigger)… I had an issue like that in the past…

Yes, I did what you said and now is working, the issue is that a need it to be scheduled, do you have any idea on how to make it work scheduled?

@comm_support_agent Seems like there is an issue with Generate CSV permission from a backend workflow.

This would need a fix from Glide. It is obviously a bug.

Scheduled workflows, and other server-side workflows, can’t access user-specific values/values from the user profile. From the looks of the workflow, it seems posible that the “Users CSV” may be dependent on user profile values in some way.

I have tried also with other tables and I got the same issue, it seems the only way to make it work is using and app interaction trigger

Are any columns, whether it’s the columns used to build the CSV, or the column used to receive the CSV url, a user specific column? As stated, back end server side actions cannot access user specific columns because they are not ran as a specific user. Also as stated, values from the user profile as opposed to the user table won’t work, again because server side actions are not ran as a specific user. It would be helpful to see the configuration for the action and if any columns used are user specific or using the user profile.

I don’t think that he was using user specific value.

Forgot about asking for the column screenshot.

Hi, no they are not user specific columns. Can you try to recreate it? create a scheduled workflow that creates a csv, does it work for you?
