Well, then ... I need you to answer a few questions.

Did you search here in the forum and what did you find?

What experience do you have with Appian?

What is the overall use case?

Where is that data coming from?

How much data is that and do you plan to do that export frequently?

Hi, can you please tell me if the data from the external system is being stored in database?

If it is being stored in the database you can use this smart service: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.2/Export_To_CSV_Smart_Service.html

Hi Harshitha - the data is not being stored in the database. the data is coming from external system.

Yes, we can not use the Export to CSV smart service. you have to try using https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.1/Text_Doc_From_Template_Smart_Service.html
