I'm not 100% clear whether it will work within your required use case, but it is able at least to generate valid .XLSX files from arbitrary input dictionary data. Edit: actually if your data is coming from an external API, it seems to me like you can probably just pass this data into a process model containing this node, without needing to call an Appian API. Some more details about your requirements might help solidify a suggested approach though.https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/appian-community-edition/40331/don-t-see-acme-auto-application-for-hands-on-activity-of-developers-learning-path/154251Tue, 14 Apr 2026 10:31:00 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:066e123a-3312-4f74-918b-a7a33905fea6Shubham AwareOnce you log in to the Appian Community Edition designer, click the waffle icon and go to Community Edition Home.

So better to normalise the cdts using foreign keys would be the best approach, if feasible. Or even move to record type/ data fabric! For time out, find the cause of the time out in query. E.g. try querying 1,10 or 100 rows as per need to find the root of the timeout issue. Another suggestion is if you are querying to show data in a grid, which is why you might need to query multiple rows - query just the main record data (except nested cdts) and show them in grid. The relative nested data can be queried and shown in separate UI component for each row - thus nested data will be queried one for each row rather than multiple at once. Can discuss further for each of the above approaches, yet hope these general suggestions help.https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/best-practices/40335/nested-cdt-takes-too-long-to-query-data/154246Tue, 14 Apr 2026 10:09:00 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:b6dd19d6-966d-4734-ab76-4f873d4224a8Shubham AwareDeeper nesting can create an N+1 query problem and slow queries or timeouts. Create a DB view with the required JOINs and map it to a single flat CDT. Then query that view with one a!queryEntity() call, using paging and only the fields you need. For longer-term maintainability, consider Record Types with Relationships(Replace deep nested CDTs with flat related CDTs)https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/best-practices/40335/nested-cdt-takes-too-long-to-query-data/154245Tue, 14 Apr 2026 09:39:00 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:534390c3-3de4-4f3c-ac6e-add4ef3e2adaStefan HelzleWell, you will have to analyze why it takes so much time.

I would love to have some suggestion to optimise/ replace it with something else if possible.

Our clients report not receiving our outbound emails that have been custom configured already in the Sender field (i.e. not Process, Process Designer, Process Model, or Process Initiator that will create different sender names) but a custom and consistent sender name. We have verified that the DNS in the SPF records contain all of our Appian site names. We also enabled DKIM to contain a verified email signature. However, whenever our shared Appian mail server IPs get added to the Outlook/Microsoft global block list, our outbound emails get blocked. Any resolution that anybody implemented to get around this issue? Thanks in advance.DKIMBlockedEmailsspfhttps://community.appian.com/discussions/f/administration/40333/case-management-studio-portal-issueMon, 13 Apr 2026 20:09:00 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:995cff43-bc25-413b-8294-9fec06713632JMAHABI2Having an issue when attempting to configure cmgt studio portal module.

Trying to download data from an API, just to forward it to the user as an Excel file is not exactly a great use case for Appian. I think you will have to write the data to a database table, and then use one of the plugins to export it into an XLSX file. Then you can make the user download it.https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/appian-community-edition/40331/don-t-see-acme-auto-application-for-hands-on-activity-of-developers-learning-path/154238Mon, 13 Apr 2026 15:27:00 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:07958cb5-6918-48f8-90f9-f3337f13711cmahesha928463Suggest you to drop an email to communityedition@appian.com
