Export Submissions
Every form in Formtorch supports CSV export. You can download all submissions or filter by date range and export directly from the dashboard — no API required.
Need to automate exports or archive before data ages out? See Exporting & Archiving Data for a complete workflow guide.
Exporting from the dashboard
Open your form
In the dashboard , navigate to your form’s Submissions page.
Click Export
Click the Export button in the top right of the submissions table.
Choose a date range
Select the range you want to export:
| Range | Description |
|---|---|
| Last 24 hours | Submissions from the past day |
| Last 7 days | Submissions from the past week |
| Last 30 days | Submissions from the past month |
| All time | Every submission for this form |
Download
The CSV file downloads immediately. For large exports, the download streams progressively so you don’t have to wait.
CSV format
The export includes metadata columns followed by one column per form field, sorted alphabetically:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
Timestamp | ISO 8601 timestamp of when the submission arrived |
IP Address | Submitter IP address |
User Agent | Submitter user agent string |
Test | true if this was a test submission |
Spam | true if TorchWarden flagged this as spam |
Spam Score | Numeric spam score from TorchWarden |
[field name] | One column per form field, named by the input’s name attribute |
Nested objects (e.g. from JSON submissions) are flattened using dot notation: address.city, address.zip. Values beginning with =, +, -, or @ are prefixed with a single quote to prevent spreadsheet formula injection.
Exporting via API
To fetch submissions programmatically with an API key, use the List Submissions endpoint and page through results with cursor pagination. CSV export via API key is not yet available.
Data included
- Real submissions (non-spam, non-test) are always included
- Spam submissions are included in the export with
isSpam=true - Test submissions are excluded from exports by default
Retention and export limits
Your plan’s data retention period affects what’s available to export:
| Plan | Submission history |
|---|---|
| Free | 30 days |
| Starter | 1 year |
| Pro | Unlimited |
Submissions older than your plan’s retention limit are not available for export. Upgrade your plan to access older data.
