Customize How your Phantom Results Files are Saved

This guide explains how to control how your results files are saved for certain Phantoms. You’ll learn how to rename files, generate simplified versions with only the fields you need, and when to use each setting.

What Result File settings let you do

Some Phantoms give you additional control over how your results are stored. 

You can:

  • Rename your results file to stay organized across multiple Phantoms or campaigns.
  • Generate a second, simplified CSV file with only the fields you need.

These settings are optional and affect only the saved results, not the way data is collected.

Where to find these settings

The location of the result file settings depends on the Phantom type:

  • Most Phantoms: Go to the Behavior step during setup.
  • AI Phantoms (like Enrichers or Message Writers): Go to the Prompt step and expand Advanced settings.

Rename your Results File

This setting lets you choose a custom name for your results file. For example, to separate different campaigns or clients.

Important:
Renaming your results file resets your Phantom’s progress
On the next launch, the Phantom will:

  • Create a brand new file.
  • Reprocess the input data from the beginning, even if some rows were already handled.

Only rename your file if you want to start fresh or keep results separate.

Generate a simplified CSV file with specific fields

Use the Fields to keep setting to create a second, cleaner CSV file containing only the data you want.

How it works:

1. In the Fields to keep box, list the column headers you want, separated by commas.
Example: firstName, profileUrl, jobTitle

2. Your Phantom will generate:

  • The full Results File.
  • A second simplified CSV with only your selected fields.

This is helpful when you're sending data to a CRM or want to cut down on unnecessary columns in reports.

To find the exact columns names, check the headers in a previous full CSV file.

Best practices

  • Only rename result files between automation sequences, never during ongoing daily launches.
  • Use Fields to keep when you want a cleaner file for integrations or review.
  • Always download a full backup of your results before making changes to file settings.
