JSON to CSV: Webhook Payload to FTP Template
A Webhook trigger receives a JSON payload, flattens and converts it to CSV, then drops the file onto an FTP server for batch processing.
What It Builds
This Spojit template starts with a Webhook trigger that accepts an external HTTP POST carrying a JSON body. A Connector node on the json connector flattens the nested payload, the csv connector turns it into rows, and a Connector node on the ftp connector uploads the resulting file to a directory on your server. The outcome is a ready-to-import CSV waiting for the next batch job, with no manual exporting.
The Prompt
Paste this into Miraxa and it builds the workflow, connecting the tools for you:
Build a workflow that triggers on a Webhook, takes the JSON body, flattens any nested fields and converts the records to CSV, then uploads the CSV file to the /incoming directory on my FTP server named with today's date.
Connectors Used
- Webhook trigger - receives the external JSON payload and exposes it as
{{ input }}. - json - flattens nested objects with
flattenso every field maps to a column. - csv - builds the file with
from-json, with optionalsortorfilterfirst. - ftp - writes the file to your server with
upload-file.
Customize It
Change the FTP target directory and the filename pattern, swap in a fixed column order, or add a filter step to drop unwanted records before the CSV is built. You can also point the upload at a dated subfolder so each batch lands in its own folder.
Tips
- Secure the Webhook with an HMAC signing connection so only your sender can trigger runs.
- Keep the ftp node in Direct mode for a predictable single upload with no AI cost.
- If payloads arrive deeply nested, run
flattenfirst so column headers stay flat and importable.
