Populate excel or word template from form entries

    Hi Yuniar,

    is there a way to populate some of the data from a submitted form into a word or excel template each time a form is submitted from my site? Would I need to do this using a Msyql database? When I receive the form info with name, dates, locations for rentals, I currently copy/paste/type the info from the email form submission into an existing word document. I'd like to streamline this more.

    thank you,
    David

    Hi David,

    I'm afraid there is no built-in functionality to do this. Sorry.
    You'll need to have a script that able to populate the data into your word/excel file and then setup your form to send the data to that script (using the webhook feature).

    If you'd like to generate customized PDF, Word, Excel, or PowerPoint documents from your form entries, you can use a service called WebMerge. Here's an article that outlines how to generate an invoice: https://www.webmerge.me/blog/populate-a-customized-pdf-invoice-from-machform

    Each form you setup can be attached to a unique document/template and it can be emailed, sent to cloud storage like Box or Dropbox, or even sent for e-signature with services like DocuSign or CudaSign.
