Hi All.Today I’m being an April Fool! Trying to get a scheduled workflow to generate a CSV and save the URL of the generated file. I’m probably being a complete numpty but for some reason it’s failing. I don’t suppose anybody has got generate csv in a scheduled workflow working?Here’s my approach.Lo…

Are any of the fields here, especially the field where you are storing the URL, a user-specific column? Workflows can’t work with user-specific columns since it can’t imitate a user in a run.

Thanks Thinh. I guessed as much and ‘context’ is what I was struggling with. No user-specific columns and not the user table either. I’m using a loop over a single row helper table in which I have the URL column. I’ve tried the column to be both text and URL. Neither work. Generate CSV collects t…

I’m curious. If your table has only one row, what are you looping through?

Thanks Darren! You question tells me that I might be missing the point completely. My ‘Generate csv’ pulls data from a tickets table. See above picture.

I don’t understand why you need the loop at all. Or the helper table for that matter. Wouldn’t you just point the Generate CSV action directly at the table? (Or a query, if it needs to be filtered) :thinking:

@Darren_Murphy Tried that. Now it’s just failing 10 times instead of once :frowning:

I’d try it myself, but I’m out. I’ll have a look later, if you don’t figure it out in the meantime.
