Hi @rhodesgod

You can use the Write Binay File node to save the text into the file.

Please note that, I have used Set node instead of Twitter Node (Just for the example)

This node needs two parameters.

You can edit the file path under the Final Name and leave the Property Name as it is. (Which can be later used, If you want to access the file in other nodes within the Workflow.)

Hope it helps.

What exactly you wanna save as string? You will need to manipulate data probably with function node. Share your workflow and let us know what needs to be save as txt file

Hey @rhodesgod,

Looking at what you want to do the example at the bottom should cover it.

So I have a set node to Fake the data to match what you are sending so consider that your Twitter node, The Next set node uses the data to build out the message to save in the text file. Next up is to convert the JSON data to Binary data using the Move Binary Data node then we end by using the Write Binary Data node to save the file wherever you want it.

Example Workflow

The only problem you may have depending on your setup is if the Path you use for the Write Binary File exists and is available to your docker container.
