Is it possible to updated the cvs with new data every time a form is being submitted

oloccina 01 Mar, 2020
Hello,
I see that there is a "CSV" in the actions panel. Does this just create asingle csv file when someone submit the form, or is Is it possible to have that file updated with new data every time the form is being submitted by a new user?

Thank you

Hi oloccina,

It depends on how you use it.

+ In a 'normal' form On Submit event it can add the submitted data to a single line CSV file.

+ You can set up your form so that it reads data from a database table and adds all the read data to a CSV file.

+ You could, I think, save a CSV file then use custom PHP to open it and add a new line when a new form is saved.

What exactly do you need to do?

Hi Bob,
I need to get subscription for an event, and it would be handy to have each subscriber's data automatically go in a csv file, but what you suggest is probably too complex for me, so I'll just have the data delivered via email and add them manually to a csv.
Thanks!

I sell a Save to Google Sheets plugin for Chronoforms on my site if that helps
