You can download form responses from workflows in your workspace or Enterprise Grid organisation. To delete them, please submit a request.
Note: If you can’t see the option to download workflow form responses in Workflow Builder, find an owner or admin to ask for help.
Download workflow form responses
There are a few ways to download workflow form data. Which option you use will depend on whether a workflow was created in Workflow Builder or by a developer in your organisation using Slack platform tools.
Workflow Builder workflows
Developer-built workflows
From your desktop, hover over More, then select Automations.
Click on Managed by you.
Click on the pencil icon next to a workflow to open it in Workflow Builder.
Click on the three dots icon in the top right, then select Download form responses from the menu. If the workflow includes multiple forms, you’ll have to select one from the drop-down menu first.
You'll get a direct message (DM) from Slackbot with a link to the file when it's ready.
Call functions.workflows.steps.list.APIto view a list of steps that include form responses. The function_id for the OpenForm built-in function is Fn010N, and you should also note the step_id for the steps that you want to download, as you’ll need it later.
You’ll get a direct message (DM) from Slackbot with a link to the file when it’s ready.
Use the Slack CLI
Download and install the Slack CLI (if you haven’t already).
From a terminal, change your working directory to the app’s project directory.
Run the slack open-form-respond export --workflow command. The workflow reference is a string formatted like this: #/workflows/. The callback_id is assigned to the workflow in the app manifest.
Select the app, environment and which OpenForm step you want to download responses from. OpenForm steps will only be listed if they have data from at least one workflow run available.
You’ll get a direct message (DM) from Slackbot with a link to the file when it’s ready.
Note: In workflow form CSV files, the Z at the end of a Submission timezone timestamp indicates the UTC timezone.

Identifying information about the workflow (such as the link, the workflow ID or the callback_id)
