CSV in the backend

c.bakermans · 2025-01-27T20:29:17.756Z

Hi all,

I need to create some JSON and CSV files and put them in a zip file.

So far I have come across all these nice features and plug ins that can do one or more activities in the front-end but I need the files to be stored in the back-end.

Anyone an idea ideally how to have this action performed in the backed (any plugins) as it would be nice to send some automated e-mail packages containing reportable data in these formats.

Thanks!

1T CSV Creator has Server Side Action (SSA) functionality.

Thanks Phill,

Do you know why the JSON conversion is needed here? Feels like a redundant step.

Thanks!

Its not so much you are converting to JSON, rather you are using JSON as a medium through which to transform data into CSV format using the :format as text operator, which makes it a really versatile method to assimilate data from a variety of sources (i.e not just one datatype) and compile it into a single document.

Thanks for helping!

Looks like I’m not able to save the result of the .csv creation as a private file.
Do you know how to do that as well?

Thanks!

I’d refer to the forum thread regarding the plugin to find information on that.

1T - CSV Creator 3.0 Showcase

@dehacked79 I will add this option to the plugin at some point. In the meantime you could set up the API connector to do this using the settings below. Here’s the connector setup that I’m using. You would just need to add the following parameters: private = true attach_to = things unique id [image]

Thanks! (A bit above my pay-grade in terms of complexity but I guess I’ll have to work through this a bit )

Actually was easier than expected (and the CSV new file 64 allows you to save the csv as a private file right away via the element inspector.

Creating a zip script based on js zip package also seems to be relatively easy (while getting the code and fields in, is easier than setting up the Bubble Test App environment…)
