The Write File action is designed for mobile applications, enabling users to create and store files directly on Android and iOS devices. It is commonly used for scenarios like saving logs, exporting data, or generating reports that users can access locally on their devices.

1. Navigate to Native in your action flow and select the Write File task.

2. Configure the file properties such as name, content, and location using the available options.

Configuration Overview

Configuration Field	Description

::: note

When writing a file, ensure the file name follows these conventions for compatibility and to avoid errors:

Use alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) in the file name. Avoid special characters like ?, *, <, >, |, \, /, : as they may cause issues. If you need to separate words, use underscores (_) or hyphens (-) instead of spaces for better readability.

Examples:

• Good: sample_2023-12-25.pdf
• Bad: sample/2023:12?25.pdf
