How to export
- Open your survey
- Go to the Responses tab
- Click the Export button in the top toolbar
- Select your preferred format
- Click Export
The file will be generated and downloaded to your computer. For large surveys with many responses, the export may take a few moments to prepare.
What is included
Each export contains:
- One row per survey entry
- Columns for each question in the survey
- Response values for each entry
- Metadata such as submission date and entry identifier
Filtered exports
If you have active filters applied in the Responses tab, the export will include only the filtered entries. Remove all filters before exporting if you want the complete dataset.
Scheduling regular exports
For ongoing data collection, you can set up integrations to automatically send new responses to external services. See the Integrations section for options including Google Sheets, email notifications, and webhooks.
