Exporting popup submissions allows you to back up, analyze, or integrate the data collected from your popups with other tools. Whether you’re gathering newsletter subscribers, collecting contact form inquiries, or offering downloadable files, the export feature ensures you can easily manage the data outside your WordPress Dashboard.
Accessing the Export Option #
To export submissions:
- Navigate to Popup Box → Submissions in your WordPress Dashboard.
- Select the specific popup whose submissions you want to export. See the example:
- Once inside that popup’s submissions table, you will see the Export to XLSX button at the top right.
Understanding the Exported File #
When you export submissions, the data will be downloaded in an XLSX format (Excel file). The exported file will include all details collected from that popup, such as:
- WP User – If the user is logged in, their WordPress username will be displayed.
- User IP – The IP address of the submitter.
- User Name – The name of the subscriber/contact.
- User Email – The email provided in the form.
- Date – The exact date and time of submission.
- Popup ID – The unique identifier of the popup the submission belongs to.
This makes it easy to analyze your data in Excel, import it into CRM systems, or share it with your team.
Best Practices for Exporting Submissions #
- Export regularly – Keep backups of your subscriber or lead data in case you need to restore or migrate it.
- Filter first – Before exporting, check that you’ve selected the correct popup to avoid downloading unnecessary data.
- Stay secure – Since submissions may contain personal data (emails, names, messages), store the exported files safely and delete outdated versions.
- Use for analysis – Take advantage of Excel’s tools (sorting, filtering, charts) to find trends in subscriber behavior.
