Exporting Form Submissions

Being able to export your submissions to a .CSV (comma separated values) or a JSON file is a characteristic which accommodates the need of importing them into a third-party CRM or some other managerial system. The process of exporting them is quite easy.

How to export submissions manually

Navigate to Components > Convert Forms > Submissions and click on the "Export Submissions" button at the top of the page.

Upon clicking this button, a modal will appear allowing you to select the form you'd like to export, specify the period of submissions to export, the state of the submissions, as well as whether to export in CSV or JSON format.

How to export submissions automatically

Convert Forms allows you to automate the export of your submissions using a password-protected webhook URL without requiring you to log into your site.

Excel Security Option

Since Convert Forms 2.0.4, a new option called Excel Security added to the Convert Forms configuration page which if enabled, values in the CSV exported file starting with a =, +, - or @ will be prefixed by a tab to avoid any CSV injection when opening the exported file using Excel.

The Excel Security option can be disabled if you are 100% certain that the data are trustworth or if you're facing difficulties importing the CSV file to a 3rd party application.
