Overview

After building and running a workflow, you’ll want to save the results for dashboards, reports, or further analysis. Go Fig provides multiple export options to fit your needs. What You Can Export To:
  • Virtual Tables: Save results as saved queries that create views from your source database, which can then be accessed by Dashboards
  • Online Spreadsheets: Sync results directly to an Online Spreadsheet of your choice
  • CSV Download: Download results to your computer for local analysis
  • [COMING SOON] Figs: Create charts directly in a workflow from workflow results
  • [COMING SOON] Actions: Send email summaries and Slack alerts using charts and output data created by the workflow.

​
Understanding the Output Node

Every workflow needs an Output node to save its results. The Output node is the final step in your workflow where you configure where and how to save data.

​
Output Node Basics

What It Does:
  • Saves workflow results as a Virtual Table
  • (Optional) Exports results to a connected Online Spreadsheet
  • (Optional) Download results locally as a CSV

​
Virtual Tables

All workflows will save results as a Virtual Table - a saved query that creates a view from your source database without creating new physical tables. Virtual Tables can be used in dashboards and other workflows. Virtual Tables look and feel like other tables. They can be used in Dashboards and as inputs for other Workflows.

​
Export Results to Online Spreadsheets

Export workflow results directly to Excel Live Sheets or Google Sheets.

​
First-Time Setup

Share Online Spreadsheet with Go Fig

Navigate to the Excel Live Sheet or Google Sheet that you want to export results to. Create a new tab in the Sheet if needed. Share write access to Go Fig, by adding a new role integrations@gofig.ai with Editor access.Detailed guides:

Best Practices

Descriptive Names: Name your exported Virtual Tables descriptively with context: “Q1_2024_Sales_Report” not “Output_1”
Test with Limits: During development, add a Limit node (100-1000 rows) before Output to test exports quickly. Remove for production.
Clean Before Export: Use Filter, Distinct, and Select nodes before Output to export only clean, relevant data.
