What it does

If your forms collect leads, inquiries or event registrations, someone usually has to log in, export the entries and pass the file along. That routine is easy to forget and easy to get wrong. This addon handles the job for you. You set an export schedule, pick where the file should go and choose a format, and the entries are delivered at the intervals you define. Your team or your other software gets the data without anyone touching the dashboard.

The addon works inside WPForms, and you configure it from the form builder. Filters let you limit an export to the submissions that matter, and custom file naming keeps a folder of exports organized over time. If an export fails, you get a notification so data does not quietly go missing. Choosing an existing Google Drive folder is limited to site administrators, which keeps control of where entry data lands in the right hands.

Features

Scheduled entry exports

Set custom intervals for exporting form entries so data goes out on a regular schedule without anyone running a manual export.

Several delivery destinations

Send exported entries to an email inbox, a Google Drive folder, a Dropbox account or an FTP server, depending on where your team works.

CSV, Excel and JSON files

Choose the file format that suits the tool receiving the data, whether that is a spreadsheet program or another application that reads JSON.

Entry filtering

Apply filters so each export includes only the relevant submissions, which keeps files smaller and easier for recipients to work with.

Custom file naming

Define naming conventions for exported files so they are simple to identify, sort and find later in a shared folder or inbox.

Export failure notifications

Get notified when an export does not go through, so you can fix the problem before form data is missed.

Admin-only Drive folder selection

Only site administrators can select an existing Google Drive folder in the form builder, limiting who can direct where entry data is sent.

Questions about WPForms Entry Automation

Does this work without WPForms?

No. It is an addon built specifically for WPForms and adds automated export options to your existing WPForms forms. You set up export schedules and destinations from within the WPForms form builder.

Where can my form entries be sent?

Exports can be delivered by email or uploaded to Google Drive, Dropbox or an FTP server. You can pick the destination that fits your workflow, such as a shared Drive folder for your team or an FTP server another system reads from.

Can I export only some of the entries?

Yes. The addon includes filtering options so you can limit an export to the submissions that are relevant. That helps when a recipient needs only a portion of your form data instead of every entry.

What happens if a scheduled export fails?

The addon sends a notification when an export fails. This lets you spot and fix the issue, such as a destination problem, so entries are not missed during the automated process.
