#  Exporting Form Submissions with a Webhook URL

Are you looking for a way to automate exporting your form submissions? With Convert Forms, you can export form submissions by visiting a secret and password-protected webhook URL without logging in first.

## [Enable the Auto Export Submissions plugin](#enable-the-auto-export-submissions-plugin)

First, ensure you're using Convert Forms 3.2.10+ Pro, as this is a Pro-only feature. Next, log into your backend, go to System -> Manage -> Plugins, search for "Convert Forms - Submissions Exporter" and click to enable the plugin.
