Master BrowserAct's Output Data node to collect, consolidate, and export workflow data seamlessly. Transform scattered extraction results into structured formats like CSV, JSON, XML, or Markdown.

Detail

What is the Output Data Node?

The Output Data Node is the final endpoint of your workflow. It collects and consolidates all data extracted during workflow execution from various Extract Data nodes, then exports everything in your chosen format.

When Should You Use It?

Use the Output Data Node whenever you need to:

E-commerce Data Collection：product titles, prices, ratings, and images from marketplace listings
Job Market Research: Collect job titles, descriptions, salary ranges, and requirements
News & Content Aggregation: Capture headlines, full text, publication dates, and author names

Key Rules & Best Practices

Before you start, remember these essential rules:

One per workflow: Each workflow can have only one Output Data Node
Must be last: The Output Data Node must always be the final node in your workflow
Requires data source: You need at least one Extract Data node before the Output Data Node

Markdown (MD) - Best for Readable Reports

Step 3: Configure Export Settings
