Every Bricks form starts the same way: someone submits it, you get an email, and that email joins a thousand others in your inbox.
Then the client asks how many people registered for the event. Or you need to export the list. Or an email gets deleted, and that submission is gone permanently.
Bricks can store every submission in your database instead, with a proper admin table, CSV export, duplicate blocking, and entry limits.
It is turned off by default, which is why most people never find it.
What you will learn:
How to enable the Save Submissions feature in Bricks settings
Add the Save Submission action to any Bricks form
Run multiple actions in sequence (save first, then email admin)
View, manage & download form entries from the dashboard
Export form submissions as CSV
Save user IP addresses to track where submissions came from
Set maximum entry limits (perfect for events with limited seats)
Prevent duplicate submissions using the Compare Field ID option
Block duplicate submissions by IP address
Reset or delete the form submissions database safely
What You Can Build With This
Once submissions are stored, the same setup covers a lot of ground:
Event registration with a seat limit and no duplicate signups, exported as a check-in list on the day.
Ticket or support requests where you need a record you can search later, not an email thread.
Contact form archive so nothing is lost when someone cleans out the inbox.
Lead capture that exports straight into a CRM whenever you are ready to process it.
No form plugin required, no extra database work, and everything stays inside the builder you are already using.
