Using the Process File Block

The Process File block is used to read and process a file depending on the file type. If the file provided is a CSV, then the output of the Process File block is an array of values corresponding to each row in the CSV file.

 

  • Enter a label and description for the block.
  • Enter the App name or select the checkbox for Default to select the app from the dropdown list.
  • Enter the Collection name or select the checkbox for Default to select the collection name from the dropdown list.
  • Enter the file id to be processed or select the checkbox for Default to select the file from the dropdown list.

Note: “App” and “File” are mandatory fields.

 

Consider the following workflow that gets triggered on file upload.

 

  • The file-id is received at the Entry block and is passed to the Process File block.
  • The Process File block extracts the data within the file as an array of values corresponding to each row in the file uploaded.
