Step Inputs

In the Edit Step menu, you can add details about the step configuration as needed for your flow.

• File Name: Required. Enter the name of the file you want to create. This can either be static or dynamically based on available data like date, flow data, or step data. For example, return `MyCompany_${dayjs().format('YYYYMMDD')}.txt`;

• Produce App Xchange File Pointer: Enabled by default. This setting controls whether the flow step outputs a standard file pointer or an AppNetwork URL and file ID.

• Line Ending: Enter Unix (LF), Windows (CRLF), or Unspecified based on your preferred line ending format. If you are unsure or have no preference, leave the value as Unspecified.

• File Content: Enter the text content of the file. This can be a static string or generated dynamically from available data. This field accepts both file pointers and file IDs. Example, return flow.step('build-edi-data-for-file').output;or

Step Outputs

The output of this flow step depends on how you configured the flow step.

• If Produce App Xchange File Pointer is enabled, the flow step outputs a file pointer. For more information, see File Pointers.
• If Produce App Xchange File Pointer is disabled, the flow step outputs a legacy AppNetwork URL and file ID.
