Forms are some of the most useful elements a designer can put on a page, but doing something constructive with them after users have filled them out is sometimes challenging. For collecting the data inputted into form fields, you can send everything to your server as is, or you can optimize your organization with a proper format and program. Of course, coding that yourself isn’t every designer’s dream. Form to Excel and mail will grab all the values submitted by a user and distribute it in an excel file, which gets uploaded in tandem with user information like IP address and so on to keep records nice and neat.
The extension also sends an email to a specified address every time this event happens, so an admin will have a clear idea of their site and transaction activity. I especially like the inclusion of attachment capabilities with this extension; if a user uploads a file, the resulting Excel spreadsheet (which gets saved as a .csv, making it easy to use with other programs) prints a url to retrieve the file. An extension like this has plenty of potential to be riddled with confusing operation but I’ve managed with it just fine, thanks to a clean and simple interface and easy to understand setup. The price is great as well, seeing as just about any membership or commerce site construction can benefit from this extension.
