Node Inputs

• csv_file_name: The name of the CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file you want to work with. This file is where your data will be written. It’s important to make sure this file exists or is specified correctly to ensure data is stored in the right place.
• Writer Mode: This input decides how your data gets added to the CSV file. You can choose between:
  • Add New Row: This mode will add new information as a complete row at the end of your existing data in the CSV file.
  • Write to Column: If you have specific information that belongs in a certain column, choosing this mode lets you add that data directly to the desired column, starting from the last filled entry to keep your data organized.

Note: The Writer Mode is optional, and if it is not specified, the default action will be to add a new row to your CSV file.

​

Node Output

• generated_csv_file_name: After the node has processed and added your data to the specified CSV file, it will provide you back the name of the CSV file that was modified or created as a result. This is to ensure you can easily identify and access the updated file.
