Receive form submissions and have the data sent to single Word document?

I know that you can have a form submitted on your website to be sent to a word document. Is there a way to have any data submitted on one form be sent to Just ONE continuous word document?

So each new form submission appends to the same word document? My client doesn’t want a ton of word documents, because the data collected is so little, half the page would be blank.

Try using a <span> tag

You could use Google Sheets instead of Word doc to handle this possibly.

Hi @CurioCreative 

Try using this GDoc action: Append Text to Doc

I tried the “append to document” option and it seems to be in a continuous line. How do I get it to break the data up onto different lines?

Please post screenshots with how your Zap step is configured.

Make sure to add line breaks between mapped data points.

Here’s the setup and here is a screenshot of how it is coming through. None of this info on here is sensitive or real contact information.

Well I just noticed that it accepts HTML. Is there an easy way to stylize the text too? This is what it looks like when it comes through. They want the titles to be red.

And here is the mockup.
