CSV Export
Diaform can export your project's interview responses as a CSV file. Use this for offline analysis, sharing with stakeholders, importing into BI tools, or backing up response data.
How to Export#
From the Responses page:
- Click the Export CSV button.
- Your browser downloads a CSV file for the current project.
CSV export uses the date, status, and sentiment options selected in the export dialog. If the Responses page has an active search term, that search is applied to the exported file too.
What's Included#
The exported CSV file contains these columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Date | When the conversation record was created |
| Status | Conversation status, such as opened, started, completed, or cancelled |
| Sentiment | Overall sentiment for completed responses when available |
| Country | Respondent country when available |
| Names | Name and full-name identities attached to the conversation |
| Emails | Email identities plus the legacy respondent email value when present |
| Identities | JSON array of visible respondent identities attached to the conversation |
| Metadata | JSON object with conversation metadata |
| Summary | Pipe-separated question summaries |
| Positive Keywords | Positive themes identified by the AI |
| Negative Keywords | Negative themes identified by the AI |
| Quotes | Notable quotes from the conversation |
Identity Columns#
The Emails column is populated when Diaform has an email identity for the conversation or a legacy respondent email value. The Names column includes name-like identities. The Identities column contains the full visible identity list, including invite identities, optional embed identifiers, and identities extracted during post-processing.
If you collect email as an interview question, the post-processing AI attempts to extract a valid email address from the respondent's answers after the interview completes. When extraction succeeds, Diaform stores it as an email identity and the CSV Emails column is populated. If no valid email is found, the column remains blank.
Opening the File#
CSV files work with:
- Microsoft Excel
- Google Sheets
- Apple Numbers
- Any spreadsheet or BI tool that accepts CSV
For real-time integrations with your own systems, use webhooks instead of manual CSV exports. Webhooks send data to your server automatically when interviews complete.
