Input

Input field	Description
When first started, this recipe should pick up events from	When you start the recipe for the first time, it picks up activity from the specified date and time. Defaults to fetching activity an hour ago if left blank. After the recipe has been run or tested, the value cannot be changed. Learn more about this input field.
Parent folder	The parent folder where the file is placed. Select a folder from the picklist or enter the folder ID directly. You can find the folder ID at the end of the folder URL. If entering the folder ID for a shared drive (formerly Team Drive), this value must be in the form folder_id/shared_drive_id (for example, 1fm6iCMYrN7roZZ-ynpVFRTVq9mellrWp/0AB6ZFCw3XdamUk9PAA). The uploaded file is saved in My Drive if this field is not specified.
Sample CSV file	Required for Workato to understand the data columns in your files. If you do not have a sample CSV file to upload, enter column names manually, with each name on a new line. This is used to build output column fields.
Column delimiter	The character used to separate column values within each CSV line.
Contains header line?	Set to Yes if the first CSV line is a header line containing column names that must be excluded in the output.
Batch size	Number of CSV rows per batch. Instead of reading rows one by one, Workato reads a batch of CSV rows at the same time to increase throughput. Refer to Batch processing for more information. Defaults to 1000, which is the maximum batch size.
Expected encoding	The expected file encoding type. Defaults to UTF-8, and typically doesn't need to be changed.
