Export structured lead submission records to CSV from your TryQRMint dashboard for spreadsheet and CRM management.
1. The TryQRMint Data Export Architecture
To set clear operational expectations, it is important to understand how TryQRMint manages submission records:
- Secure Cloud Storage: Every valid submission is encrypted and persisted in your TryQRMint database under your workspace account.
- Centralized Submissions View: Inquiries appear under `/dashboard/qr-codes/[id]/submissions` with search, status filters, and individual response modals.
- Business Plan Entitlement: Direct CSV data export is an advanced data management feature available on the TryQRMint Business plan.
- Manual Import Workflow: TryQRMint does not provide direct native API integrations or automatic two-way background synchronization with HubSpot, Salesforce, or Zapier. Instead, data is exported as a clean CSV file and imported into your external CRM using the platform's standard file import tool.
2. Step-by-Step: Exporting Submissions to CSV
Exporting your submission records takes just a few clicks from the dashboard:
- Step 1 — Navigate to QR Codes: Log in to your TryQRMint account and open the main QR Codes management view.
- Step 2 — Select Submissions: Find the specific Lead Capture QR code and click the 'Submissions' button (or open the QR code details menu).
- Step 3 — Filter or Review: Optionally filter submissions by status ('New', 'Contacted', 'Converted', or 'Closed') or search for specific contacts.
- Step 4 — Click Export CSV: Click the 'Export CSV' button in the upper right toolbar. Your browser will download a file named `[qr-name]-submissions-[date].csv`.

3. Structure of the Exported CSV File
The exported CSV is organized cleanly with standardized columns followed by your dynamic custom fields:
| CSV Column Header | Data Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Submission ID | UUID String | Unique database identifier for each individual response. |
| Submission Date / Time | ISO Timestamp (UTC) | Exact timestamp when the visitor tapped submit. |
| Status | Text String | Current workflow status ('new', 'confirmed/contacted', 'completed/converted', 'cancelled/closed'). |
| Custom Form Question 1 | Respondent Input | Matches your configured label (e.g., 'Full Name'). |
| Custom Form Question 2 | Respondent Input | Matches your configured label (e.g., 'Email Address'). |
| Custom Form Question 3 | Respondent Input | Matches your configured label (e.g., 'Phone Number'). |
| Dynamic Custom Fields... | Respondent Input | All additional fields (dropdown choices, checkboxes, project notes) in the order configured. |
4. Importing CSV Leads into Excel and Google Sheets
Once downloaded, opening and working with your submission data in spreadsheet software is instantaneous:
- Microsoft Excel: Double-click the `.csv` file or select File > Open > Browse to view all rows. Use Excel's 'Format as Table' feature to enable instant sorting and filtering by service category or date.
- Google Sheets: Open a blank Google Sheet, select File > Import > Upload, and drag the CSV file into the browser. Choose 'Replace current sheet' to populate your leads with correct column alignment.
- Data Cleaning: Because respondents type their own information into validated fields, you avoid handwriting misinterpretation and missing digits common with paper notes.
5. Importing CSV Leads into External CRMs
Most major CRM and marketing automation platforms feature universal CSV import wizards. The general procedure is consistent across platforms:
- HubSpot: Open Contacts > Import > Start an Import > File from Computer > One File > One Object (Contacts). Map the CSV 'Full Name' to Contact Name, 'Email' to Contact Email, and 'Submission Date' to Lead Create Date.
- Salesforce: Launch the Data Import Wizard under Setup > Data > Data Import Wizard. Choose Standard Objects > Leads > Add New Records, and map CSV headers to standard Lead fields.
- Zoho CRM / Pipedrive: Select Import Leads, upload the CSV, match mapped columns, and assign incoming leads to specific sales team members for follow-up.
Final Takeaway
Exporting lead capture QR code submissions to CSV gives businesses complete ownership and portability of their offline marketing data. By downloading clean, structured spreadsheets from the TryQRMint dashboard, sales teams can seamlessly bridge real-world print campaigns with modern digital CRM workflows.

CSV export for form submissions is available on the TryQRMint Business plan. Free and Pro tier accounts can view and manage submissions directly inside the online dashboard.
No. TryQRMint does not currently provide native real-time CRM API synchronization. Submissions are stored in your dashboard and can be exported as a CSV file for manual import into CRM or spreadsheet software.
CSV exports are generated on a per-QR code basis from each code's dedicated Submissions manager. This keeps campaign datasets organized by individual flyer drops, trade shows, or yard signs.
Your historical submission records remain securely stored in your account database. However, active dynamic form access and CSV export capabilities depend on your current subscription entitlement.
