¶ About
The writeOneFilePerCell action allows you to save hundreds or thousands of text files in separate cells. This action is fed by a table in which:
- One column contains the location of each file.
- Another column contains the text to be saved.
It is typically used in ETL pipelines where individual file generation is required for export, reporting, or data transformation purposes.
Notes:
- Ensure the destination folder exists and is writable.
- File paths can be absolute or relative.
- The
idExistssetting controls how to handle existing files.

/tmp/output/file2.txt,This is the content of file 2
