# Export CSV

The **Export file** task allows you to export a table from your data flow into a **CSV file**, which will be made available for download directly within the Gaio DataOS interface. It’s a practical way to share results or integrate with external systems.

***

## **How to Use**

***

### **1. Add the Task to Your Flow**

* Go to the **"Delivery"** section in the left menu.
* Drag the **Export file** task into your data flow.
* Connect it to the table you wish to export.

***

### **2. Configure the Task**

* **Task label**: A name for the task (e.g., `export_april_sales`). For internal reference only.
* **Separator**: Choose the character that will be used to separate columns in the CSV file. Gaio supports the following options:
  * `Comma ( , )`: Default for international use.
  * `Semicolon ( ; )`: Recommended for European or Brazilian formats.
  * `Tab`: Generates TSV (tab-separated values) files.
  * `Pipe ( | )`: Useful when your data contains a lot of commas or semicolons.
  * `fieldsTerminatedByTILD`: Uses the tilde `~` symbol as the field separator, useful for custom data integrations.
* **Compress file (ZIP)** *(optional)*: Enable this option if you want the resulting CSV file to be compressed as a `.zip`.

***

### **3. Save and Run**

* Click **Save** to store the task.
* Click **Run** to execute the task in your flow.
* When the flow runs, the file will be generated based on the settings.
* The download will be available with the same name as the exported table.

***

#### **Tips**

* The resulting file will include all columns and rows from the linked table.
* Use `Pipe` or `TILD` separators when your data includes a lot of punctuation.
* You can include this task in automated flows or trigger it manually as needed.
