Diaform allows you to export all your interview responses as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file. This is useful for offline analysis, sharing with stakeholders, importing into business intelligence tools, or creating backups of your data.
How to Export#
From the Responses page:
- Apply any filters you want (date range, status, sentiment, etc.)
- Click the Export CSV button in the top-right corner
- Your browser will download a CSV file containing the filtered responses
What's Included#
The exported CSV file contains the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Date | When the interview was completed |
| Status | The conversation status (completed, abandoned, etc.) |
| Sentiment | Overall sentiment (positive, negative, neutral, mixed) |
| Country | The respondent's country (if available) |
| Summary | Pipe-separated question and answer pairs |
| Positive Keywords | Positive themes identified by the AI |
| Negative Keywords | Negative themes identified by the AI |
| Quotes | Notable quotes from the conversation |
Filters Apply#
If you have any filters active on the Responses page (date range, status, sentiment), only the matching responses will be included in the export. This allows you to create targeted exports for specific time periods or response types.
To export all responses, clear all filters before clicking Export CSV.
Opening the File#
CSV files work with:
- Microsoft Excel — Opens directly with double-click on Windows
- Google Sheets — Use File → Import
- Apple Numbers — Opens directly with double-click on macOS
- Any spreadsheet or BI tool — CSVs are a universal format
For real-time integrations with your own systems, use webhooks instead of manual CSV exports. Webhooks push data to your server automatically when interviews complete, eliminating the need for manual downloads.
