How to create Pages out of a existing form database with ConfiForms

[Robert Morbitzer]

Hi community,

we are using the ConfiForms Plugin to create multiple Pages with customer data out of a csv-File. We create an forms data Entry and a Page for every customer per IFTTT-Rule.

Is it possible to recreate the customer pages from the existing form data without reimport the csv-File?

e.g. we change something in the form, or add a new field to it, we want to apply this change to our existing customer pages which contains views to the existing form.

The actual process for applying the changes ist to change something in the form, export the form data as csv, deleting the existing customer pages and reimport the csv.

That's very annoying because we then need to reassign the fields to the columns at import.

Is there a better way to apply changes?

Best Regards

Robert

Hi

You can set up an IFTTT to recreate your pages that reacts on a change in ConfiForms record (onModified with a condition set to track some field change that you can change via REST API update, for example)

Hi Alex,

There is a "Do not report error" parameter (in the IFTTT macro) that you will need to enable, so it will not report the error when the page with the same title exists, but will just update it with a new contents
