Invoices — CSV round trip

A finance export arrives as CSV text: parse it into typed rows, package the rows back into a downloadable file, and prove the file reads back — the import/export loop every finance flow needs.

What’s inside

5 nodes — every type links to its full reference page.

Step	Node	Type
CSV export	Inject	`input.inject`
Parse rows	CSV	`processing.csv`
Package as file	Convert to File	`processing.convert-to-file`
Read it back	Extract from File	`processing.extract-from-file`
Verified	Console	`utility.console`

Import it

Studio → Import — paste the JSON below (or the URL /docs/templates/invoices-csv-round-trip.json).

Or ask the AI Copilot with the JSON pasted after the phrase:

import this workflow json into a new workflow named "Invoices — CSV round trip"

Any credentials the nodes need are ${credential.…} references — add them once in Admin → Credentials and the template picks them up. Nothing secret ships in a template.
