Responses

Every submission to a published form lands in your Responses tab in real time. From there you can browse, download per-submission PDFs, export to CSV, and (for AdaptDoc integrations) watch each one move through the signing workflow.

Opening responses

On the dashboard, click the Responses link next to any form. The responses page shows a table with one row per submission and one column per input field. Display widgets (Header bar, Image, Table, etc.) don't add columns — they're for layout, not data.

Reading the table

  • Submitted — when the response came in.
  • One column per input field, in the order they appear on the form.
  • Checkbox answers show as a comma-separated list.
  • File uploads show as clickable links to the uploaded blob.
  • Signatures show as a small thumbnail of the captured PNG.
  • Empty answers from optional fields show as —.

Downloading a single submission as PDF

Every row has a PDF button on the right. Click it to download that submission as a branded PDF — the format depends on the form's PDF style (see Documents & PDFs). Filenames are slugified: your-form-2026-05-25.pdf.

Signing status (AdaptDoc integration)

When you've wired the AdaptDoc bridge, a Signing column appears showing each submission's state — Draft, Sent, Signed, or Error. If something went wrong, the error message is surfaced inline. See Signatures & signing.

Exporting to CSV

Click Export CSV to download every response. The first row is field labels; each subsequent row is a submission. CSVs are UTF-8 encoded and open cleanly in Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets, and every other tool you'd expect. Signatures flatten to [signature] in CSV (use the per-row PDF download if you need the image itself).

Deleting a response

Hover a row and click the trash icon to remove a submission. Deletion is permanent — there's no recycle bin. If you need an audit trail, export to CSV (and download any branded PDFs you care about) before deleting.

What gets stored

Forms stores each answer as the respondent submitted it, plus the submission timestamp and an internal ID. File-upload blobs and signature PNGs are stored on Vercel Blob and referenced by URL. We do not store IP addresses, user agents, or any other identifying metadata unless you add a field that explicitly asks for it.

Webhooks & integrations

The AdaptDoc bridge (Signatures & signing) is the first integration. Generic webhooks, Zapier/Make connectors, and direct database export are on the roadmap. Until they land, CSV export is the easiest way to get responses into another tool.
