• I absolutely love Forminator. To be honest, even the free version is so great, I rarely have a need for a paid version. Yet, there is one feature that I am missing on Forminator – ability to output the entries as a table. Perhaps, this is not needed for most forms, but highly structured detailed forms benefit from a table output, which also makes it easy to copy-paste the output into a spreadsheet. A free version of Formidable (sorry for mentioning a competitor) includes this option – you simply select a “classic” email style in the form settings. If only Forminator would include it, I would never ever have a reason to look at other form builders. Thank you for the great product!

    Hi @ahundov,

    Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review and rate Forminator! We are happy that you liked our plugin.

    Regarding the tables we do have an integration which you can check and see if it fits your requirement as mentioned in this doc:

    https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#wpdatatables

    However, if you think the existing integration doesn’t cover your requirement, I would highly recommend you open a new thread with us outlining the features you are looking to implement, and we will ensure this is passed to our team’s attention for consideration on the roadmap in the future.

    Thanks for your feedback, really appreciate it.

    Regards,

    Nithin,

    Thank you for your comment! I followed the link that suggests using wpdataTables plugin for creating frontend tables. This is a little different from what I was looking for. I was talking about the Forminator email notifications formatting. A table-based submission notification is easy to copy and paste into a spreadsheet. I know about the ability to export the submissions, however it would be nice to have the option to select “table” (or whatever you call it) format as opposed to HTML or modern email formatting. Thank you!

    Hi @ahundov,

    Thanks for your feedback; however, you could add HTML fields inside the Email Notification in Forminator to get the desired style in the notification in table form, i.e., for example:

    <p>Table form:</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <table>
    <thead>
    <tr>
    <th>Name</th>
    <th>Email</th>
    <th>Phone No.</th>
    <th>Message</th>
    </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
    <tr>
    <td>{name-1}</td>
    <td>{email-1}</td>
    <td><a href="tel:{phone-1}">{phone-1}</a></td>
    <td>{textarea-1}</td>
    </tr>
    </tbody>
    </table>


    However, I suppose you meant there should be different notification templates supported by default? Is it only with copying to a spreadsheet where you think it’s helpful? Could you please open a new support thread with us so we can better understand the workflow you are looking for in Forminator? This will help us check and consider whether it could be implemented in future versions.

    However, have you considered using the Google Sheets integration, where submissions would automatically be stored in the spreadsheet, eliminating the copy-and-paste step?

    Please note that this is a review thread. If you have any further feedback or questions related to the above, please open a new support thread with us.
