Exporting Submissions

Lucid Forms keeps a secure, searchable record of every form submission. You can export this data at any time for backups, offline reporting, or importing into CRM tools.

How to Export Your Data

Section titled “How to Export Your Data”

You can perform exports directly from the interactive submission table in your dashboard:

  1. Open the Lucid Forms Dashboard and select the form you want to export.
  2. Click on the Submissions tab to view your logs.
  3. In the top right corner of the submissions table, click the Export button.
  4. Select your preferred format: CSV or JSON.
  5. The download will start automatically in your browser.

Supported Formats

Section titled “Supported Formats”

We support two primary export formats to make data portability as simple as possible:

1. CSV (Comma-Separated Values)

  • Best for: Spreadsheet analysis, offline reports, and non-technical team members.
  • Compatibility: Opens natively in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, Apple Numbers, and Airtable.
  • Structure: Each input field represents a column, and each form submission is represented as a row. Metadata like submission ID and timestamp are included.

2. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)

Section titled “2. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)”
  • Best for: Developers, migrations, and automated scripts.
  • Compatibility: Easily parsed by programming languages, databases, or API tools (like Postman or custom scrapers).
