A few months ago we sent a survey to WPForms users (you might have even participated!), and we got an overwhelming response. While we love receiving customer feedback, there were A LOT of entries for us to comb through.
It got me thinking; it sure would be nice if I could automate an export of those entries at the end of each week. And if this would make my life easier, surely you might find it helpful, too.
And just like that — voila! Let me introduce you to our newest feature, Entry Automation, the best set-it-and-forget-it tool that lets you schedule exactly when you would like to export or delete your entries.
Who doesn’t like a little automation?
Here’s what makes Entry Automation a game-changer:
- Scheduled Exports – Automatically export your form entries daily, weekly, or monthly. Never lose important lead data again.
- Automated Entry Deletion – Set rules to automatically delete old entries.
- Smart Export Filters – Choose exactly which entries to export based on form fields or entry status. Get only the data you need.
- Email Delivery – Receive your exported files directly in your inbox on schedule. No need to remember to download them manually.
- Customized Automation – Set up different automation rules for different forms. Your contact form might export weekly while your newsletter signup exports monthly.
Picture this: Every Monday morning, you receive a perfectly organized CSV file with all your weekend leads, while your database stays lightning-fast because old entries are automatically cleaned up.
Let’s stick to a schedule
Simply pick a schedule that works for you. You can pick your start and end date, frequency, days of the week and the exact time you want the action to run. No more recurring items on your to-do list. WPForms has you covered!
Choose what matters
Customize exactly what data gets exported with just a few clicks. Choose specific form fields, add entry details like dates and status, and set up smart filters to export only the entries you need. Whether you want all entries or just new ones since the last export, WPForms makes it simple to get the exact data you’re looking for.
Ready to automate your entry management?
I’ve personally tested Entry Automation with our own forms, and the time savings are incredible. What used to take valuable time, now happens automatically in the background.
Ready to save hours per month on manual data management? Set up your first automation rule in just a few minutes and start focusing on what really matters — growing your business.
As always, I cannot wait to hear what you think of our latest feature. In the meantime, we will be over here cooking up even more time-saving features for you.
Till next time,
Lauren
