Scheduled CSV Export For WPForms DB

Automatically export WPForms DB form entries to CSV on a schedule using a cron job.

How to use it?

1. Install and activate the “WPForms DB” and  “WPForms DB Scheduled CSV” add-ons from your WordPress admin dashboard.

2. Go to WP Admin → WPForms DB → Scheduled CSV, then copy the Secret Key.

3. Open the URL below in your browser (or use it in your cron job) to trigger the export:

Replace:

• {yourdomain.com} with your actual domain

• {secret-key} with the key you copied

• {form-id} with your WPForms form ID

• {type} daily, weekly, monthly, custom, etc

Example: 

https://yourdoamin.com/wp-json/cfdb7/export-csv/jpDozZNEFZ4xRWGMVKW07RHn8MgK0P/5/daily

You can download daily (All submissions before 24 hours )

Where can I find the Form ID?

Go to WP Admin → WPForms DB →  select the form you want, and check the address bar in your browser.

Example:
If the URL shows something like .../wp-admin/admin.php?page=wp-forms-db-list.php&fid=24

Your Form ID is 24.
