Email entry data in notification email?

  1. Hello all!

    I've got a form being used for a contest and need help with 2 things.

    1. Have all of the entry data emailed in the notification email so it can be logged, not just the little notification that a new person submitted a form. The entries are being tracked by non-Wordpress users.

    2. Export the data as an Excel file or something that would make it easy to store all of the participants data to keep track of current leaders in the contest.

    I've searched the forums and Googled my brains out. I've found things similar, but not what i'm looking for. The ones that seem to be close, are way over my head in the coding aspect. I know HTML and CSS, not PHP. So any guidance will be MUCH appreciated.

    Thank you any one that takes a minute to respond.

  2. The {all_fields} merge tag includes the submitted fields from the form. Is that not what you are looking for?

    You can export entries via the Export Entries option in the admin under the Import/Export menu that will produce a CSV file.

  3. Thanks! That got the entry data sent in the notification email.

    I knew i could export the CSV file from the import/export menu. I was trying to get a CSV file sent in the notification email of the entry. Hoping to avoid having to log in and export a CSV file daily of all of the new entries. Is that possible?

    Without advanced level PHP, there is no way to do what you are asking as the CSV isn't auto-generated.
