Export a table as a file
well_export_rows_as_fileTurn a table you built into a spreadsheet file (CSV) and return the link that downloads it. Use it for rows that are not Well records, such as one line per person read from a shared group chat or a pasted list. For Well records (transactions, invoices, companies), use the records export instead.
Pass columns, the headings in order, and rows, one array of cells per row with one cell per column. A null cell prints empty.
Nothing is saved to the workspace's records or memory. Anyone who holds the link can download the file, for 15 minutes and a few downloads: share it only with the person who asked.
Returns url, or refusal_reason: "not_a_member" (the caller is not an active member of this workspace), "too_large" (the table is over 512 KB) or "unavailable" (this deployment cannot serve files).
When the token authorizes one workspace, call this directly — no workspace call is needed first. When it authorizes several, this read will not guess which one you mean: pass workspace_id on the call.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| rows | Yes | One array of cells per row, one cell per column and in column order. A null cell prints empty. | |
| columns | Yes | The column headings, in order, in the user's language. | |
| workspace_id | No | Target workspace. Omit when the token authorizes one workspace. Required when it authorizes several: this read reports one workspace's own figures and will not choose which. | |
| conversation_id | No | The conversation id returned by the previous Well result, in its meta under well/conversation_id, in its structuredContent, or in its JSON text block. Pass it back on every call in the same conversation, including a call a card makes, so the chosen workspace and the earlier answers still apply. It decides the conversation on its own: nothing the host states about the session replaces it. Omit it only on the first call of a conversation. | |
| workspace_scope | No | Restrict this call to the family: the token's primary workspace plus the company workspaces under it that you are a member of. Unrelated authorized workspaces drop out of the read; row reads merge across the family, while a per-workspace figure still reports exactly one workspace. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | Yes | The link that downloads the table as a CSV file. Give it to the user exactly as returned. | |
| error | No | ||
| success | Yes | ||
| row_count | No | ||
| expires_at | No | When the link stops working, ISO 8601. | |
| column_count | No | ||
| refusal_reason | No | ||
| conversation_id | No | The conversation this result belongs to. Pass it back as the conversation_id argument on every later Well call in the same conversation. | |
| newly_connected | No | Tools that connected to this workspace since the last result and that no session was told about yet, oldest first. Present only when at least one tool is new. The connected-line rule says when to tell an entry; when it does, one line per entry, in the person's language: "<name> is connected.". Never fold several entries into one sentence. Each entry comes back once, on one result only: never repeat its line later. | |
| resolved_workspace | No | The workspace that answered, when the caller named none and the token authorizes several. | |
| conversation_id_note | No | Present only when the server opened a fresh lane, stating that no choice recorded earlier was read. | |
| conversation_id_source | No | Where the conversation id came from: the host's own request meta, the caller's argument, or a fresh lane the server opened. |
