Submission Queries#

You can fetch submissions in your templates or PHP code using submission queries.

{# Create a new submission query #}
{% set myQuery = craft.formie.submissions() %}
// Create a new submission query
$myQuery = \verbb\formie\elements\Submission::find();

Once you’ve created a submission query, you can set parameters on it to narrow down the results, and then execute it by calling .all(). An array of Submission objects will be returned.

See Introduction to Element Queries (opens new window) in the Craft docs to learn about how element queries work.

Example#

We can display submissions for a given form by doing the following:

  1. Create a submission query with craft.formie.submissions().
  2. Set the form and limit parameters on it.
  3. Fetch all submissions with .all() and output.
  4. Loop through the submissions using a for (opens new window) tag to output the contents.
{# Create a submissions query with the 'form' and 'limit' parameters #}
{% set submissionsQuery = craft.formie.submissions()
    .form('contactForm')
    .limit(10) %}

{# Fetch the Submissions #}
{% set submissions = submissionsQuery.all() %}

{# Display their contents #}
{% for submission in submissions %}
    <p>{{ submission.title }}</p>
{% endfor %}
