My app collects contact data that I then want to be able to:
(1) export (email) as a csv, or
(2) save to my mobile device (android only?).

Do you have any guidance on this?

Thanks!
Chris

You can send an email via SendGrid API or another one is MailGun API. We have plug-in for SendGrid API.

You can save to the device using SQLite or IndexedDB database.

Ok, thanks Max.

RE: SendGrid
I don't just want to send an email. I want to click on a button in my App and have it trigger a conversion of selected database content into a file (.csv, for instance) that is then appended to an email. I don't need to use SendGrid, per se, I just need the file created and then appended to an email that can be sent by the user using their on-board email client (gmail, etc).

RE: Saving a file directly to the device.
How do SQLite and IndexedDB help me achieve this? I am using Appery's database set-up.

SendGrid takes care of sending the email. The actual conversation -- it can be done but you need to code it. To do such conversion is probably better on the server. You can use Server Code for instance to do that.

Appery.io database is a a cloud database. If you want to store data on the device, you have three options:

1) Local storage
2) SQLite
3) IndexedDB
